Purpose: Seattle City Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck invites you to attend a forum on lessons learned from Europe on green building and urban sustainability. The purpose of this forum is to hear from key developers and urban planning professionals who recently toured cities in Denmark and Sweden, what they learned about green building and urban design. The goal of the forum is to learn how new ideas can be applied here in Seattle and to stimulate interest in green building.
Specific ideas to be presented at the forum include:
- Real-world examples of how green roofs work;
- The benefits of making bicycles a priority;
- Innovative drainage technology;
- Office buildings designed for the future.
