The 9th Annual CitiesAlive is the leading multi-disciplinary conference dedicated to growing new business opportunities for green roofs and walls through the latest scientific research, innovative design practices and products, and novel public policy development.
“The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is proud to co-host this gathering in Philadelphia, where we are finding green solutions to storm water problems,” said PHS President Drew Becher. “We look forward to sharing innovative projects of PHS and our partners, and learning the new approaches of conference participants from around the world.”
Restoring urban waterways is the main theme for this year’s CitiesAlive Green Roof and Wall Conference. Cities around the world struggle to find cost-effective solutions to restore their local waters and improve the health and sustainability of their communities. Philadelphia is a world leader in storm water management with plans to spend over $2 billion on living green infrastructure solutions.
At this year’s conference, delegates from North America and around the world will explore leading edge green infrastructure projects, scientific research and policies that have helped put Philadelphia in the forefront of the living green infrastructure revolution. We will work together to address emerging challenges and opportunities including indoor greening, developing the residential market, and urban rooftop food production.
