A one-day conference focusing on green infrastructure issues is being held in London on October 23 at the British Library Conference Centre.
The conference is organised by Green Social Engineering and supported by BALI, Green Infrastructure Partnership, The Parks Alliance, the Institute of Horticulture and the International Federation of Landscape Architects (Europe).
It is aimed at government and local authority senior staff, councillors, urban planners, architects, landscape architects, contractors, health directors, ecologists and environmental space managers.
There is now overwhelming international evidence that green infrastructure (GI) - parks, green spaces, green roofs, trees, green walls, gardens - is a vital component of the built environment. Leading national and international experts will explain how environmental issues impact on health, employment, climate change, and the economy.
