2 2

3 INTRODUCTION Green roofs and walls have a vast, but unrealized potential to address many of the fundamental challenges facing New York City. CitiesAlive is heading to the Big Apple for the first time in October The conference will draw an anticipated 1000 delegates and will work to explore and showcase underutilized living architecture opportunities. These include: Maintaining and improving community and individual health and well-being. Preparing to address climate change and severe weather. Contributing to quality affordable housing. Cleaning NYC s waterways. The walls and the roofs of New York City provide hundreds of square miles of surfaces that can be used to help address many of these pressing issues. CitiesAlive delegates will tour leading edge projects, research facilities and see unique sites such as the High Line and Brooklyn Grange. Technical sessions are directed towards design, research and policy communities and will focus on the latest scientific research, products, and policies, all of which are critical to meeting the challenge of promoting healthy and resilient people and places in New York City. New York City is filled with hundreds of design firms and thousands of designers. New York has over 8 million residents and the regional population exceeds 21 million. New York City is home to more than 35 Green Roof Professionals and boasts numerous Award of Excellence winning projects. We expect a sell-out crowd at CitiesAlive NYC in 2015, so book your sponsorship early! Connect with up to 1,000 participants including: Architects Manufacturers and Policymakers, Government Suppliers Officials Landscape Building Contractors Environmental NGO Architects Representatives Engineers Building Managers Planners and Municipal Representatives Developers Roofing & Construction Academics, Researchers and Professionals Students 3

10 HARLEM GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN CHARRETTE OCTOBER 7 8 Before and after concept rendering for City of Philadelphia green infrastructure neighbourhood retrofit. Credit: City of Philadelphia Over the past year GRHC has worked to develop and pilot the Green Infrastructure Charrette program. This involves two main components identifying key neighbourhoods of 4 to 10 blocks in size that are in need of green infrastructure and then bringing together teams of volunteer design experts to re-envision them with green infrastructure. The second component involves subjecting these designs to a cost-benefit analysis to determine short and long term costs and benefits associated with the implementation of the ideas generated by the design teams. The Green Infrastructure Foundation is working in partnership with Robert Crauderfuff & Associates and the Canaan Baptist Church in Harlem to raise funds to conduct a Green Infrastructure Charrette in Harlem. This project will advance OneNYC poverty alleviation goals by developing partnerships with local workforce and business development organizations. We believe that sustainable green infrastructure can provide both economic opportunities and a better quality of life to our Harlem community - Deacon Russell of Canaan Baptist Church. The cost of conducting background research, organizing participants, facilitating the Charrette, preparing a final report and in phase II, conducting additional structural analysis on several proposals is approximately $50,

In 2004, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities became a formal industry association registered as a not-for-profit 501(c) (6). Green Roofs for Healthy Cities mission is to develop and protect the market by increasing the awareness of the economic, social and environmental benefits of green roofs, green walls, and other forms of living architecture through education, advocacy, professional development and celebrations of excellence. Although the current market does not value many of the tangible public and private benefits of green roofs and walls to their full potential, we are striving to facilitate changes that will bring these technologies to the forefront of high performance restorative green building design, implementation and maintenance. The development of the green roof and wall market requires that we: Research the public and private building and community-wide benefits of green roofs and walls in various cities and climate zones across North America. Develop and provide value added products and services to our membership base. Engage a wide variety of stakeholders and educate the general public on the many social, economic and environmental benefits of green infrastructure. Establish cost effective public policies to recognize the public benefits and fund the widespread implementation of green infrastructure thereby helping to reduce the higher upfront capital costs associated with green roof and wall technologies. Develop professional training and accreditation courses to facilitate excellence in green roof and wall design, implementation and maintenance. Facilitate the international exchange of information on policies, products, science and research. Green Roofs for Healthy Cities 406 King Street East Toronto, ON M5A 1L4 tel / fax
