Description:

What is a sustainable city? How can our communities, our neighbourhoods, and our cities adopt this new approach? Are we ready to change the way we think about our cities? This colloquium, organized by the Quebec chapter of the Canada Green Building Council, is a unique opportunity for people working in many different disciplines – those aiming to make our cities more sustainable – to learn and to exchange ideas.
