1pm talk by Mr Benjamin Lau

This talk examines systemic gaps in modern urban forestry, addressing how rapid greening initiatives often overlook complex ecological networks. Through international case studies, the speaker highlights how biodiversity, soil health, and climate resilience are frequently compromised by a focus on aesthetics. Participants will be invited to rethink conventional approaches to urban nature and ecological restoration.
