ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Learn how trees
and green infrastructure are being used to create jobs, mitigate
flooding, rescue housing, and improve the economic health of American
cities, towns, and villages. Especially now as a down market encourages
innovative thinking, "green" offers cross-bottom-line solutions. This
briefing will describe what makes green infrastructure essential when
planning and implementing traditional infrastructure projects, and how
early and collaborative green designs are often safer, more efficient,
and cheaper.
