fter Linda’s great coverage of the CitiesAlive! Congress, I’m hard pressed to find anything more to say! However, since I was living in Toronto around the time that green roofs were first launched there, and went on a different Congress tour, I’m glad for the chance to reflect.
The opening ceremony on Monday evening was classy, with a unique green roof touch to it. Once you’d had enough drinks and hors d’oevres in the City Hall foyer, you could go to the roof to see the project. It was fun to stroll through the disorderly chaos of a modular installation, frozen in time until the workers would return next morning.
reen Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC) is pleased to congratulate the British Columbia Institute of Technology Centre for Architectural Ecology on their successful application to conduct leading edge Green Wall research, and to announce that BCIT will be the official Academic Co-Host for Cities Alive, the 8th Annual Green Roof and Wall Conference to be held in Canada for the first time in Vancouver from November 30 to December 2, 2010.
