Latin American Parks: Drivers of Socioeconomic Integration

The panel "Latin American Parks as Drivers of Socioeconomic Integration" aims to engage participants in a discussion about the role of urban parks within the socioeconomic structures of small and large South American cities In an increasingly urbanized world where even smaller cities are adopting the logic of major metropolises, parks are assuming an ever more central social, cultural, and economic role in improving the quality of life, preserving nature, and addressing climate change. High-quality green public spaces are at the forefront of the cities of the future. This panel encourages agents from various regions across Latin America to share their experiences in envisioning and experiencing these spaces.
