Building Beyond | |

21.09 - 02.10 Leonard looks forward to seeing you at Leonard:Paris and online for a series of conferences, workshops and networking opportunities, at our third Building Beyond festival, which will focus on:
“The jobs of the future in cities and regions”
Vertical farmers, builders 4.0, garbology experts, survival coaches, mobility designers and traffic-regulation architects are a few of the profiles that cities and regions are already hiring! This Festival will take a closer look at the future of our jobs and their impact on urban areas.
There are about 20 conversations by 100 speakers on the programme. And stay tuned: we will be unveiling the details all summer long! | |

B-Side
Biodiversity and urbanism | |
Just like good old vinyl records, our newsletters now have two sides: the A-Side provides a choice of articles revolving around a central theme that is changing the way we design, build and operate cities and infrastructure, and the B-Side provides suggestions for further reading on the same topic.
Surreptitiously, nature has started building nests in the middle of cities. In the bigger picture, we are looking at a worldwide paradigm shift, which is reshaping the way we relate to the environment and the services we receive from the diversity of living systems in it. | |

Greening cities: new imaginary worlds… and fresh funding for them | |
Biodiversity champions are growing more vocal the world over, the climate crisis is amplifying their voices, and green initiatives are gaining ground in cities as a result. This has sparked a fair share of fanciful imaginary worlds – some prophetic, some aporetic – and a few down-to-earth funding initiatives, too. Here are a few of them. | |
