Green Infrastructure

Green Infrastructure for Planners

Green infrastructure will and has already become a key tool in coping with and battling the impacts of Climate Change. As regulations and codes are being updated to include green infrastructure into the development process, planners will become key allies in including these practices into their designs. This workshop is geared to equip planners with the tools they need to start looking at green infrastructure and incorporating them into their planning process. Come hear from planners and engineers who have walked this path before and the lessons they have learned.

This event is worth 2 AICP CM credits.
