SPRING GREEN 2008

Shaping sustainable neighbourhoods

Events & Exhibitions: 18 March – 8 June, 2008

Spring Green is an annual programme of exhibitions and events that celebrate sustainable innovation in the built environment and ask poignant questions about the environmental and social impact of our buildings and cities.

This year’s programme explores environmental and community sustainability on the neighbourhood level. The exhibitions, displays, talks and other events suggest ways that architecture and design can be used creatively to contribute to healthier and more enjoyable neighbourhoods, both for us and for the planet.
