Green Roofs for Healthy Cities – CitiesAlive 2022

October 16, 2022 - October 19, 2022

CitiesAlive® is back in 2022 and is going to be bigger and better than ever!

Our last two conferences have taken place virtually, but we are excited to announce that our next conference will take place in person! This multidisciplinary conference will be hosted in Philadelphia, where we will be highlighting innovative green roof designs, groundbreaking policies, and the best products and services in the green infrastructure industry, specifically focusing on green roofs and walls.

The content in Philadelphia will focus on the theme, Green Infrastructure & Water in a Changing Climate. Water is critical to the health and resiliency of our communities. Over the last several years, Philadelphia has become a green infrastructure leader through creative policy solutions that work to create vibrant community spaces while managing stormwater. In 2011 the Philadelphia Water department implemented a plan to invest $1.2 Billion over the next 25 years.

CitiesAlive® 2022 is a multi-disciplinary conference, bringing together the best designers, product manufacturers, researchers, and policy makers in the field of living architecture and green infrastructure. Attendees will hear from leading-edge designers, discussing their innovative approaches and newest projects. We will be highlighting progressive policies and showcasing the latest research. Join us in shaping a better, more resilient future.

Join Aramis & Linda in Philly where she’s presenting Session #27 “Top 10 World-Changing Blue-Green Infrastructure Designs to Cool Our Warming Planet” on Tuesday October 18 at 10:45 – 11:45 in Concerto A. Don’t miss this hour-long ride across the world to see: Which designers, projects, systems & technologies are best handling climate-induced storm events?

She has some excellent examples tackling stormwater management & flood mitigation with integrated vegetation, which will be key on a climate-challenged planet.
