Built Environment, Rx is a five-part webinar series (July–November 2025) and publication invitation that brings together researchers, planners, designers, engineers, Extension professionals, and community leaders to explore how living systems (such as water, vegetation, and soil) can shape a more resilient and equitable urban future.
Each monthly session highlights interdisciplinary approaches to green infrastructure and urban design, bridging science and practice through case studies, applied research, and community-engaged strategies. Topics include bioretention systems, building-integrated agriculture, climate-ready infrastructure, policy innovation, participatory design, and digital planning tools.
This series also serves as a structured inquiry:
- How well are our built systems functioning?
- What barriers persist?
- How can we work across sectors to co-create structural and policy solutions?
Sessions include:
- July 15 – Provisioning Services & Urban Resilience
- August 12 – Regulating Services & Climate Adaptation
- September 9 – Supporting Services & Biodiversity in Cities
- October 14 – Cultural Services & Community Well-being
- November 11 – Tools, Metrics & Research in Practice
