GRA Newsletter December 2017
Another year has come to an end! 2017 was another expansive year for GRA growth in Australasia. Our efforts are still focused on dissemination, promotion and advocacy but we require your support to bang the drum louder. The website is constantly expanding with new projects, research data and opportunities to promote your projects and have your say about how we can do better. Get involved and let us know what you are doing and what you are discovering as we push for urban green infrastructure.
Wishing all our members, sponsors and supporters a happy, safe, green Christmas Season.
Matt Dillon, GRA President
The Green Urbanscape Asia 2017 Conference, organised in Singapore, brought together important stakeholders, to share their experience and projects and discuss how dense and green building typologies can contribute to developing compact yet highly liveable future cities. The event was organised by the Landscape Industry Association (Singapore) (LIAS), National Parks Board (NParks), The Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects (SILA) and supported by SingEx Exhibitions.
The two-day conference served as a meeting place for policymakers, planners, developers, architects, landscape architects and researchers, from all over the world, and featured over 25 presentations from leaders in their field on challenges and opportunities for green infrastructure around the globe.
