A unique evening opportunity to participate in a green roof and ecosystem services seminar in London.
Ecosystem services are essential tools for strategic thinking and masterplanning to adapt our cities to climate change.Whilst the term Green Infrastructure is often the term that is used the Green Roof Consultancies trainers prefer the term Ecosystem services as it is less about engineering and more about the process of natural systems.
Flash flooding, Lisbon-style temperatures by 2020 and air quality are already producing Level 2 Health Alerts and major issues for cities like London. Masterplanner and ecosystem services expert Gary Grant and green roofs campaigner, designer and policy instigator Dusty Gedge, discuss how an understanding of ecosystem services and green roofs can help us design built environments that maintain our natural life support systems.
Dusty and Gary will also present the findings of the Green Infrastructure Audit for the VictoriaDistrict of London, commissioned by the Victoria Business Improvement District, which proposes the whole scale retrofitting of Victoria for ecosystem services.
