Living green infrastructure includes urban forests, green roofs and walls, green streets and spaces including parks and engineered wetlands, rain gardens, water harvesting and other technologies which provide public and private economic benefits while increasing urban resilience. The Declaration will be presented to policy makers, planners and developers in markets across North America once a critical mass of signatures are secured.
