CitiesAlive: 15th Annual Green Roof & Wall Conference

September 18, 2017 @ 7:30 am - September 21, 2017 @ 4:30 pm UTC+0

CitiesAlive: 15th Annual Green Roof & Wall Conference will take place on September 18th – 21st in Seattle, Washington, U.S. This year’s theme, Building Resilience and Equity Across Cascadia: People, Community, and Places, highlights the necessity of green roofs and walls alongside the region’s unique characteristics as they contribute to community, place making and the resilience of the people in a variety of sessions and workshops.

The Cascadia economy is booming with Oregon and Washington ranking 1st and 4th best performing states in 2016. British Columbia is expected to double the average Canadian rate of growth in 2016. Seattle and Portland are both in the top 10 metro areas in North America for green roof installation (2015), and Portland and Seattle are in the top 10 US cities for LEED certified buildings (2011).

For the first time, Seattle will host CitiesAlive®: 15th Annual Green Roof and Wall Conference. This year’s conference will celebrate the region featuring content specific to the Pacific Northwest.

At CitiesAlive we will explore the science behind green roof and wall performance, technology, and design through the lens of the different climates and cities within Cascadia. Discover new products and services at the CitiesAlive® trade show, tour some of Seattle’s best green infrastructure projects, and enhance your professional practice with continuing education and networking events.
