NATIONAL PARK CITIES
So far there are two National Park Cities – London and Adelaide. This is just the beginning, with over 30 cities around the world undertaking their own journey as set out in our Journey book.
LONDON, ENGLAND
After five years of campaigning London became the world’s first National Park City in July 2019 with a launch summit at City Hall and a Festival across London.
The London National Park City has been supported by thousands of Londoners, the majority of the city’s 2,000 local politicians and the Mayor of London.
