According to the completed agenda, the workshop "Botanical Glossary" is conceptualised as the basis for the creation of an international platform and applicable web application as the ultimate goal. The web application "Botanical Glossary" will contain a database of endemic plant species, their constitution, climate characteristics and other characteristics from the aspect of adaptability and transformability of the species. The workshop will focus on seven carefully selected plant species from the territory of Montenegro. The objective of the workshop is to open and debate issues on collaborative resilience, system approach in creating strategies in urban design, landscape urbanism, landscape architecture, and urban planning.
