Conference: Scaling Up: From Green Buildings to Green Cities in the U.S. and China
WHAT: ChinaSF is excited to help spread the word about an important upcoming conference sponsored by the Asia Society. Today, the greatest challenge for green design is to scale up -- to move beyond pilot projects and piecemeal solutions to building and retrofitting on a massive scale in order to have a meaningful impact on global warming. Green materials must be mass produced, construction techniques must be standardized, and the principles of green design must inform urban planning, not simply the design of individual buildings. This one-day conference is the first to bring together leading green design specialists from the fields of research, technology, architecture, business, and policy from the U.S. and China to build dialogue and collaboration. The US and China are rapidly becoming the global centers for green design promotion, development, and investment, and many other Asian countries are beginning to follow suit.
