| CHICAGO: The City of Broad Shoulders. The City that Works |
|
From City Hall’s green roof to sustainable urbanism of parks. From the Center for Green Technology to the Green Homes Program. From public policy to private development. Chicago is rapidly becoming the nation’s “most environmentally friendly city.” What better place to showcase the state of knowledge in building deconstruction, materials reuse, & recycling. And it’s a wonderful place to visit!

We hope to see you there!
