OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Oxford Preservation Trust has stewardship of almost 1000 acres of green space in and around the city of Oxford. They were acquired – some nearly a century ago – to protect the city’s green setting and historic views by preventing development. Over a period of time, certain questions around green spaces and their sustainable management have changed, reflecting the concerns of the day. The pandemic brought a need for and appreciation of green spaces into sharp focus, as has climate change and changing public perceptions. This talk will consider some of these different priorities and a balance of approaches for managing green spaces today.
