About Dennis Hauer

3. High Line New York
Green as katalysator for urban development
The added value of green?

4. From an abondoned industrial area

5. To a place to be

6. Result: atrractive development around new urban space

7. Bonus; growt of biodiversity in the city

8. Theory versus practice
But how does this work in buildings?

9. High ambition
Great pics!
Theory:

10. Budget cuts on (part of) green ambition
Building finished; let’s put some green in!
Green design incorrect (daylight/humidity/watering)
Not part of an integrated design process
Green is hardly rated in certification programms (e.g. in BREEAM / LEED
<1% influence by green!)
Practice:

11. Green is expensive
A lot of maintanance
Living green dies (replacement costs)
Green and hygiëne (allergies)
Ignorence, what
we can’t control…

12. What problem can green solve in the concept?
Start wit a clear ambition
Create the budget
Find ambassadors
Combine the right expertise in an early stage
How does it work for me in practice?

34. More integration/cooporation between ‘green’ and ‘red’ sector
More exchange between ‘green’ and ‘red’ education
More awareness to the wide public on the benefits of green
Rules and regulations sometimes oppose green solutions
But in the end; just do it!
Recommendations
