Green infrastructure implementation through incentives or supportive policy provides city, state and federal government with shovel-ready projects that can speed up COVID19 recovery and reimagine and create healthier communities for everyone.

Blue-Green Infrastructure projects are gaining popularity due to their effectiveness in mitigating urban flooding while also addressing a number of other challenges including biodiversity, urban heat island, air quality and more.

Learn how to plan and design efficient blue-green systems to mitigate the effects of urbanization and the economic justifications to invest in blue-green technologies. Designers will share captivating designs that enhance the urban landscape while improving resilience and human health.

Overcoming the initial cost barrier is one of the biggest hurdles green roof and wall projects face in getting off the ground. Reducing or eliminating this barrier is critical to expanding the adoption of these technologies on a broad scale. Learn the economic justification for green roofs and wall deployment and implemented.

GRHC’s NYC Symposium will share ground breaking research and best practices for design projects, new regulations, and sources for project funding.

Biophilic design is more than just indoor greenery and proximity to plants. There are 14 different patterns of biophilic design that include everything from light and sound to how items are arranged in a space. The built environment has the potential to be a truly invigorating and full sensory experience that enhances our health and connects us to the natural world. Currently, low-lit or harshly lit offices with limited natural light can lead to fatigue, headaches and mental health challenges. Our buildings should not make us sick or deprive us of innate needs.
