Green Infrastructure, Climate and Cities Seminar
Wednesday, January 7, 2015
4:00 PM-5:30 PM
The first Wednesday of every month, the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department, in conjunction with the Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast (CCRUN) will host a seminar series titled: Green Infrastructure, Climate, and Cities.
More than half of the world's population now lives in cities. This demographic shift creates a host of new opportunities, but also some new risks, especially given the challenges posed by climatic extremes. This timely seminar series focuses attention on these issues, and what decision makers, researchers, and practitioners are learning about how to address them.
The following sessions focus our attention on innovative adaptation and mitigation strategies involving green infrastructure.
