GBUs mission is to be the interface between nature and the built environment, by doing so designing for BLUE should at the core of your drainage design strategy, adding value to developments, floodproofing properties, maximising biodiversity, providing equal access to blue and green infrastructure with multi-functional benefits – Anyone anywhere can have a SuDS feature.
GreenBlue Urban are best placed to educate on MicroSuDS, our session will incorporate a diverse mix of drainage design advocates detailing schemes that are currently in design and construction.
Collaboration as always is key, our mix of speakers will showcase how Green & Blue is possible from the outset and not a mere after thought….[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1611311770800{padding-top: 72px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][et_button button_text=”WATCH NOW” button_link=”https://greenblue.com/gb/videos/webinar-simplifying-suds-for-all/” target=”_blank” button_color=”#ffffff” button_back_color=”#077d32″ button_color_hover=”#ffffff” button_back_color_hover=”#077d32″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1571383761380{padding-top: 72px !important;padding-bottom: 72px !important;}”][vc_column][et_animated_title type=”h3″ font_size=”36″ line_height=”50″ animation_type=”words-direct”]Panellists[/et_animated_title][et_gap][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/6″][vc_single_image image=”50467″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”4/6″][vc_column_text]Host
