SESSIONS

Subjects

SUBJECTS

Subjects

Our cities need green infrastructure for a greener future. Experts in this field will present their work and talk about the importance of green infrastructure (GI) and nature-based solutions (NBS) to improve the sustainability of our cities. 

  • Green Infrastructure benefits (urban, local, measurable or intangible)

Green infrastructure, as green roofs and green walls, can have several benefits on an urban scale (air quality, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, urban heat island effect, wellbeing, psychologic effect, aesthetic valuation, recreational value).​ Also, on a local scale, these solutions may contribute to buildings performance (acoustic improvements, energy savings, property valuation, urban farming, water management, water treatment). In fact, green infrastructure may have multiple urban and local benefits, some measurable and others intangible.

​

  • Cost-benefit analysis

For green infrastructure to be applied, it is becoming more important to evaluate the cost of these solutions and compare them to the benefits that are associated with them. 

​

  • Projects

Learning with experience is also important. Lessons learned from existing projects are also welcome at this conference. 

​

  • Policies

Local policies can be an important strategy to promote the application of green infrastructure in buildings (private and public) and urban spaces (transport infrastructures, public spaces). â€‹

​

  • Guidelines

Guidelines are fundamental to develop quality and durable solutions. Some countries have adopted specific guidelines about the application of green infrastructure, especially regarding green roofs. Understanding these recommendations is essential for the correct application of these solutions.

​

  • Industry

The industry experience is also relevant to better understand green infrastructure systems, their characteristics, their advantages and disadvantages and what are the difficulties of installation and maintenance.

​
