DESCRIPTION:Cities have the potential to play a significant role in meetin
 g national conservation and biodiversity goals. However\, there is a growi
 ng understanding that just quantifying the total area of green spaces in c
 ities is not sufficient - connectiveness between sites of biodiversity is 
 equally important. The built environment and transport infrastructure can 
 act as barriers to this connectivity without us being fully aware.\n\nTo u
 nderstand how to better “connect up urban nature’ there is a need to d
 evelop more refined tools to identify the optimal connectiveness\, size an
 d structural heterogeneity of urban sites to enhance biodiversity.\n\nOne 
 such model has been developed by Oskar Kindvall and his colleagues from Ch
 almers University for the city of Gothenburg in Sweden.\n\nIn this free on
 line lecture and panel discussion\, we will learn how city leaders\, plann
 ers\, transport officials\, ecologists\, environmental managers\, and prop
 erty developers can learn from this new approach\, which is also about to 
 be applied here in Oxford.\nSpeakers:\nDr Oskar Kindvall\, Dr Joanna Bagni
 ewska (Oxford Lifelong Learning\, University of Oxford)\, Dr Francesca Fro
 y (Oxford Lifelong Learning\, University of Oxford)\, Dr Thomas Hesselberg
