REDEFINING
Some of the biggest shifts in park management started as one idea. Healthy Parks Healthy People did. Neil helps cities and agencies develop and test the next one.
Who it’s for
Cities, agencies and NGOs that want parks and nature to do more for health, water, biodiversity and liveability.
What Neil offers
- Concept development and testing for city-wide nature programs: National Park City, urban protected areas, green city standards.
- Program design linking parks with health, water and biodiversity outcomes.
- “What If?” workshops to open up thinking before a strategy is written.
Examples
- Track record: Healthy Parks Healthy People; Parks for Life alliance and World Parks Day; World Urban Parks.
- What defines a National Park City and the What If…? series on the National Park City idea.
- The What If There Was a Category 7? series testing the IUCN protected area system against cities.
- Do cities need an international natural green standard?
