World Parks Academy Webinar: National Park City Initiative London: The First Year & 25*2025

In July 2019, London became the globe’s first city to adopt the National Park City Charter and become the first National Park City. Join founder and urban recreation/conservation provocateur Daniel Raven-Ellison for a talk that explores the evolution of the movement, London’s path to adoption, and lessons learned in the first year of the program’s deployment in one of the world’s great urban centers. Participants will also get to speak with Jayne Miller from World Urban Parks to discuss ways their communities can be a part of this movement and possibly become one of the 25 National Park Cities across the globe by 2025.
