Level 10 11 Britomart Place, Auckland Central

Auckland’s urban trees are under threat at a time when they are more needed than ever. So how can we balance the need for more urban trees – and the benefits they provide in liveability and carbon sequestration – with our need to provide more housing and make the city more equitable?

Associate Professor Justin Morgenroth is a leader of the New Zealand Urban Forest Initiative and has been studying urban trees and the critical roles they play in cities around the world. He’ll be speaking to Britomart’s Jeremy Hansen about the best way to make Auckland and other cities greener.
