For landscape architects to rethink urban environments through the lens of urban wildlife, it is critical to collaborate with policymakers and scientists to take stock of the current situation and chart out future paths. While landscape architects are adept at projecting radical futures, these visions must be refined through dialogue with scientists and finally communicated to policymakers who can translate them into real-world changes.

This day-long symposium will facilitate such processes. A morning keynote and a closing roundtable bookend three panels that convene experts from landscape architecture, science, and policy.
