It has been estimated the 3.2million square metres of roof space in Greater London has the potential to be covered in living roofs.

But what costs are involved? Are living roofs and walls really a priority in the current economic climate? The answer is yes.

The environmental benefits are clear: the relief of increased pressures on urban land, preventing water run off, promoting biodiversity, increasing accessible green space, and improving thermal and waterproofing properties.

The installation of this technology can also help you meet multiple planning guidelines which, in turn, can dramatically affect overall design and build costs.

This conference will give architects, landscape architects, building engineers and planning professionals a practical guide to incorporating living roofs and walls into new developments and retro-fitting to existing structures, in an economically viable way.

Key topics to be discussed:
