Greater & Greener is the only conference dedicated to exploring the full potential of parks as city-building tools. It’s a conference for doers from government, nonprofits, and communities who are using the power of parks to create more sustainable, vibrant, and equitable cities.

Greater & Greener 2028 is presented by City Parks Alliance in partnership with Atlanta Parks and Recreation. It will bring together more than 1,200 urban park leaders, city planners, design professionals, and advocates from around the world. Attendees will participate in an exciting mix of indoor learning sessions and outdoor experiences.

Greater & Greener is not your typical conference. We use the local host city as a classroom, with interactive park tours, hands-on learning mobile workshops, peer-to-peer networking, and special events. The highly curated agenda sets the stage for honest, cross-sector dialogue and peer learning.

A Vibrant City

Austin’s identity as a “city within a park” is deeply rooted in its unique natural features, including expansive green spaces, undulating hills, and picturesque waterways. The Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) oversees a vast expanse of more than 20,000 acres of land and water, with more than 17,000 acres dedicated specifically to parkland

As Austin undergoes significant population growth, demographic changes, and evolving recreational preferences, the parks and recreation system is adapting to meet the needs of its residents. Recognizing the pivotal role of parkland and other green spaces in addressing contemporary challenges, such as climate change impacts and public health concerns, Austin is leveraging these dynamic environments as catalysts for positive change. With a commitment to sustainability, community collaborations, and innovative partnerships, Austin will showcase the transformative power of parks in fostering a resilient and inclusive urban environment.

Greater & Greener attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand how Austin is navigating rapid change across the city’s network of 355 parks and more than 260 miles of interconnected trails that meander through the city’s diverse landscapes.
