Living walls are increasingly becoming an important part of the ‘Green Cities Agenda’. Although the environmental benefits of living walls are widely acknowledged,the results of recent research into these and other aspects are not widely accessible in the public domain.
The University of Greenwich Green Roofs and Living Walls Centre is hosting this International Living Walls Conference on the theme of ‘Ecosystem Services’.
The conference will bring together international experts and stakeholders from industry and the built environment profession, as well as students and the general public.
The three day event will involve key note speeches, research papers, practice-oriented workshops and presentation of posters. The practice-oriented workshops will see living wall designers, manufacturers and installers sharing their knowledge and answering questions. In addition there will be pre- and post-conference walking tours of living walls in London, and an exhibition of living wall systems at the conference venue.
Walking Tours and Workshops are included in the price of the ticket but must be booked in advance - please select your choices when you purchase your ticket.
Please note all ticket prices include Eventbrite booking fees of 6% + £0.65
