Building climate resiliency in North Carolina through biophilic urban design (blog post)

The UNC Department of City and Regional Planning was lucky to begin our Natural Hazards Resiliece Speakers Series with a guest lecture from Dr. Timothy Beatley on Jan. 27. Beatley, a professor at the University of Virginia, spoke at length about his research on biophilic cities, the connection between humans and nature and the potential for more “natureful” cities to offer community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and other challenging circumstances.
