Integrating Green Infrastructure and Living Walls to Create Long-lasting Environmental Assets

The CPD

A consolidated view of the results of integrating green infrastructure for the environment, economy and society, backed by data and case studies.  From the roofs to the walls and perimeters of buildings, let’s look at the opportunities for greening even in the more complex scenarios.  We’ll discuss how greening systems can be designed for varying purposes such as biodiversity, biophilia or air quality, and find out how design influences whether you meet environmental regulations such as BNG or UGF.

By the end of the session, you’ll understand and be able to apply the principles underlying a long-lasting environmental asset.
