SUN-A08: Sustaining Green: Innovative Partners and Funding in Systems-Based Design, Construction, and Maintenance

Sunday, October 6, 2024
8:30am – 9:45am ET
Location: Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Room 147AB
1.25 PDH, LA CES/HSW, AICP, NY/HSW, FL

There is never enough funding for design, construction, and maintenance of green infrastructure. In this session, you will learn about models to bring resources to green infrastructure: systems-based solutions for revitalizing vacant land and parks, structuring green finance to mobilize private investments, and partnering for a full-circle urban wood economy.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand how to design a process to uncover desired outcomes from green spaces, and how to mobilize partners in their community to construct and care for green spaces.
  • Use a justice-informed co-design process to integrate community member and implementation partner preferences in the design of high-performance landscapes.
  • Understand green bonds and other innovative financing instruments and how they support communities in reaching their sustainability and green infrastructure goals.
  • Understand how urban wood can be used in construction of green spaces, and how capturing value from urban wood can contribute to funding green infrastructure, especially urban forests.
