Greening Cities for Sustainable Development

Posted by Zoltán Tűndik March 7, 2022

 

The International Association of Horticultural Producers, AIPH, is the world’s Champion for the Power of Plants. We use knowledge exchange, advocacy, and networking to increase the quality and quantity of living green in urban spaces through our Green City programme, motivating the multifunctional benefits that this delivers to people and the planet.

This conference will be about how we can deliver local action to pursue global green living. It will inspire people, organisations, city councils and government administrations to join this challenging movement and lead global thinking on successfully integrating nature into the built environment.

We are grateful to our headline sponsors Expo 2023 Doha Qatar, Expo 2021 Hatay and 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo; Gold sponsor PERA Event Solutions and Bronze sponsor Mosimann’s.
