Why Green Infrastructure Matters in Raleigh
As one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast, Raleigh is embracing green infrastructure to enhance climate resilience, manage stormwater, and improve urban livability. With increasing temperatures and heavy rainfall events, integrating green roofs, permeable landscapes, and urban tree canopies is essential for sustainable city planning. Raleigh’s commitment to green infrastructure helps protect its natural waterways, reduce urban heat, and create healthier, more vibrant communities.
This conference offers an unmatched opportunity to network with fellow professionals, exchange ideas, and discover new opportunities in the rapidly growing green infrastructure sector. Attendees can earn up to 7 continuing education credits, making this a valuable experience for professional development.
