improved human health along
with promoting an urban culture
connected to nature. Previous
examples of large scale green infrastructure projects suggest that
if it's properly designed, the 21
acre project could generate multiple health, social and economic
benefits and continue to payback
the city and its citizens.
Urban populations are increasing at rapid rates and our cities

are more vulnerable to extreme
weather than ever before. As civic
leaders grapple with how to provide a high quality of life and prepare for the inevitable impacts of
climate change, one clear trend is
to re-purpose and re-surface land
and buildings with green roof
technology. These large scale,
transformative green infrastructure projects allow us to respond
to the pressing need to integrate
nature into our cities. The challenges posed by climate change, and
stormwater run off along with the importance of building for human
health can be realized through green infrastructure implementation. As
witnessed, these large scale green infrastructure projects can also contribute to a city's cultural capital, provide economic benefits through
tourism and act as a beacon of sustainability and innovation.
The Rail Deck Park will be presented at the Opening Plenary of
the Grey to Green Conference greytogreenconference.org. The Ryerson Report can be found at citybuildinginstitute.ca
