Nature's Architects
Understand more about the interaction between the natural and built environments, and what impact we are currently having on what can be sometimes opposing environments. Pete and the team at Wharton Natural Infrastructure Consultants will be speaking with architects, masterplanners, planning consultants, landscape architects, developers and land managers about how they reach a balance between land use and the natural environment. We will also explore what people think is important when considering developable areas and how, through good design and collaboration we can create better place and space where people want to live, work and play.
