Meet the leaders in the brownfield and sustainability industries at the Northeast Sustainable Communities Workshop hosted by Brownfield Coalition of the Northeast at NJIT on Wednesday, March 16, 2016.
You will learn about the latest trends in sustainable communities. There are educational sessions addressing a wide variety of important topics, such as international best practices for resiliency and climate change, balancing waterfront redevelopment and ecological concerns, developing living shorelines, using energy hubs as a catalyst for brownfield development, engaging the community and mitigating environmental and social threats associated with brownfields, utilizing multi-disciplinary approaches to stormwater on brownfield sites, updates on hot regulatory topics, and urban agriculture and green infrastructure. Beginners and experts alike can find opportunities to gain information and knowledge useful to them in their own practice, project, or profession.
