Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC) and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) have announced the conference agenda and online registration for the 8th Annual CitiesAlive Green Roof and Wall Conference. The conference will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, 2010.
CitiesAlive 2010 is a three-day celebration of green roofs and walls, and the only event in North America that is specifically designed to bring the international community together in an effort to address the issues of green roofs and walls as they relate to environmental, social and economic needs on a local, regional and global level. This year will focus on integrated design and contributions to climate change solutions with new projects and markets, new policies and research opportunities designed to maximize widespread green roof and wall implementation.
CitiesAlive will include a formal reception, local tours, networking sessions, new training courses and Green Roof Professional accreditation testing. The CitiesAlive Trade Show will be populated by industry leaders in the field of green infrastructure and leading-edge educational institutions, with specializations ranging from technical design to public policy.
CitiesAlive will also be introducing the new Integrated Water Management Educational Seminar, providing technical and economic information on the design and performance of a fully integrated site and building water management system based on the “Net Zero Water” concept.
The conference will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, which at 6.5 acres, is home to the largest green roof in Canada.
