In recent years, more and more people concerned about the urban greening and tree conservation, in view of this, THEi Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Horticulture and Landscape Management programme will offer a series of seminars related to Urban Green Infrastructure. The second seminar, "Building Biodiverse and Healthy Urban Spaces", was conducted on 15 July 2017 at Hong Kong Central Library Lecture Theatre.
