LCities are made up of elements and initiatives that make them unique: the importance of play in children, specific socio-cultural characteristics, recreational bicycle projects, resilience, gender equality and inclusion, among many others are some issues that relate to the urban park and its city scale impact.

Health and environment

Parks bring infinite health benefits. They invite us to physical activation and are a place where we face nature. Green areas decrease rates of depression, anxiety and work stress; clean the air, improve wind circulation and regulate rain patterns. Urban parks are undoubtedly a great alternative to combat climate change.

Design and planning

The design principles and processes for parks are extremely important, since those who design them must consider the attractions that will take place within the site, the activities that can be carried out with the attractions and equipment, as well as what happens in the exterior. Under this core area they will try to share knowledge to improve the skills and technical capacity to design parks.

Economy and uses of public space

In addition to being spaces for recreation, parks boost the economy and value of land in areas of our cities that were previously forgotten. They promote the economic activities of commerce and services promoting the generation of jobs. Under this theme, content will be developed on successful models of administration, economic promotion and fundraising, showing the wide variety of ways in which, a park can be sustainable.

Public function and citizen participation
