Discover how the shape and arrangement of nature influence community well‑being in The Shape of Nature: How Greenspace Morphology Influences Health, part of the Center for Health & Nature Webinar Series.

Join Huaqing Wang, PhD on Aug.19, from noon to 1 p.m., for an engaging exploration of greenspace morphology, the study of how the form, layout and connectivity of greenspaces affect health.

This session will highlight emerging evidence on how different spatial patterns of nature support physical and mental well‑being and will offer practical insights for applying morphology concepts in planning and public health. A Q&A session will follow, so bring your questions and curiosity!

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe key concepts of greenspace morphology and explain how the spatial characteristics of greenspaces differ from conventional measures of greenspace quantity.
2. Evaluate current evidence on the relationships between greenspace morphology and physical and mental health outcomes across different populations.
3. Identify opportunities for application to incorporate greenspace morphology into urban planning, public health practice, and health‑promoting community design.
