Relationship to Campus Theme: “Nature, Technology, and Beyond”
Parks and Urban Greenspaces deals with how to manage our urban natural resources. The latest ideas
and technology will be used when considering greenspaces such as rooftop gardens and ways to
effectively collect urban runoff and channel it into rain gardens. This class looks beyond the common
idea of our urban forest being just the street trees, and into new ways to manage all components of our
urban forests.
