Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC) invites you to submit a presentation proposal for the Grey to Green Conference in Toronto, Ontario, taking place from August 25-26, 2014.
The theme of this two-day conference is on the numerous ways in which green infrastructure can improve our social, economic and community health and well-being. Some of the leading-edge topics to be explored at Grey to Green include: designing with nature and the bottom line; greening health-care facilities; new restorative high-performance green schools; community/participant design; ways of cleaning the air we breathe; thinking big about rising temperatures; food for thought; rethinking parks; employment opportunities; and biodiverse cities. Green infrastructure is defined as natural vegetation and vegetative technologies that collectively provide society with a broad array of products and services for healthy living such as urban forests, green roofs, living walls, rain gardens, bioswales, community gardens, etc.
