The Blue in the Green: Water and green infrastructure
The Blue in the Green: Water and green infrastructure
Arup auditorium. Booking through the Architecture Centre
Talk: Tuesday 27 April, 18.30, £5/£3
Green infrastructure re-introduces a way of designing our cities and landscape around natural cycles. The multi-functional benefits of green infrastructure and its ability to reduce or replace grey infrastructure will play a vital role in sustainable new developments and retrofitting existing settlements.
Parks and green corridors are an important part of green infrastructure; however private gardens, street trees, green roofs and sustainable urban drainage also play a crucial role in balancing natural cycles, offering opportunities to adapt to changes facing our communities.
Jochen Rabe of Arup will focus on the complex role of water as the lifeblood of green infrastructure and outline ways to solve problems while providing a wide range of environmental, social and economic benefits.
This event is part of the Architecture Centre's Spring Green 2010 season, focusing on water and built environment sustainability.
