TOMORROW 29th October, 0800 UTC, 1400 UTC, or 2000 UTC
Join us online TOMORROW for a series of quick fire talks by inspirational people who are taking actions in their cities to make them greener, healthier and wilder.
Cities are full of millions of people who have ideas and projects to make life better. What if we shared those ideas more and inspired other people to do them too?
As part of Urban October and our campaign for 25 National Park Cities by 2025, we are holding a special series of THREE online events on Thursday October 29th 2020. The event will be hosted by the National Park City Foundation in partnership with World Urban Parks and Salzburg Global Seminar. There will be three sessions during the day so that we can collaborate across timezones. Each session will be different.
You can register here for tickets and see the full line up and running schedule below along with details on how to view.
Sign up for one of the three events and you will receive an email ticket. You will then receive a SECOND email with the link to the Zoom event 1 HOUR before your event.
That email will come from Eventbrite. If you do not see it in your Inbox please do check your Spam or Junk folders.

What is Urban October?
Today 55 per cent of the world’s population live in cities and towns and the number is growing every day. Urban October is an opportunity for everyone to be part of the conversation about the challenges and opportunities created by the fast rate of change in our cities and towns.
