Green infrastructure; Blue and green corridors; Urban planning; Ecological niche
Abstract :
[en] The lecture encourages students to reflect on the ideas of corridors, green infrastructure, and ecological networks. After briefly introducing the different concepts and their applications, we will examine how the approach has evolved with respect to specific species. Finally, we will discuss the limitations of these approaches.
The workshop engages the participants in adapting the ecological network approach
for urban populations, using Maribor as a case study. Can we envision creating
happiness corridors within the city? What characteristics should we consider? Which
spatial network would be most relevant, and why? How can we account for the
diversity of the population? What benefits could this approach offer?
