Greater & Greener: Re-Imagining Parks for 21st Century Cities

As our nation and planet become more urban, new and revitalized parks are critical to making our cities greater and greener—places that thrive economically, environmentally and socially. The Greater & Greener conference is the premier forum for urban park innovation, offering high-profile topics and speakers, interactive mobile workshops and tours, a volunteer-led service project and a dynamic audience of urban parks professionals, advocates and leaders from around the world.

A Great International Conference in a Great City

For nearly two centuries, New York City has led the way in its commitment to providing parks and greenspace for all residents. From the great historic Central and Prospect Parks, to the revitalized Bronx River Greenway to the catalytic High Line Park, the city’s innovative approaches to park development and partnerships can be adapted by all great cities. In the "city that never sleeps," Greater & Greener will offer exciting educational sessions, mobile workshops and tours, a volunteer-led service project, and the vast resources of the Big Apple, from the conference hub at New York University as well as satellite events in parks around the city.
