Information material
The existing and new promotion programs of Basel and Zurich will be presented at suitable locations.
As part of the Green Buildings Week, the local population in particular will be included in the overall event with the World Congress and thus also made aware of the topic. Numerous guided tours will be organised for the local population in Basel and Zurich in the evenings throughout the week. Two or three green roofs and façades will be on display and the relevant ecological aspects will be presented. The program will be announced accordingly in the press and other communication media.
My façade greening!
In an additional event element, homeowners are being sought who have attractive façade greening on their house and are willing to present their experiences regarding the creation, maintenance effort and measures to an interested audience. With a small aperitif, impressions and a sociable exchange will be made possible on site. Ten such locations are planned in Basel and Zurich.
The target audience is:
The general public/private individuals, building owners who are interested in greening their properties, houses, etc.
Specialists from municipal and cantonal offices/architects who are to be sensitised to the benefits, implementation and funding opportunities of green roofs and façades.
A detailed program will be available from 1 February 2025
We look forward to seeing you in Basel and Zurich!
