Over the holiday season I published this enlivening and yet grounding chat with Matthew Skjonsberg, Director of the Praxis Institute. He was visiting Adelaide from Switzerland late last year and I was lucky enough to get him in studio to speak about his knowledge, passions and visions for park systems around the world.
Whether they be nature parks in cities or urban areas in nature, what’s the process for navigating how cities and nature come together? How do people use and move through these spaces? In our chat explore the rich cultural history of park systems, as well as the challenges facing people in their stewardship of both cities and parks moving forward.
Matthew Skjonsberg, is the author of Living Cities: Three Centuries of Years of Park Systems
