Goals / Remit
Our mission is to advocate and promote the integration of green infrastructure in urban planning, globally.
Since 2009 WGIN has expanded to represent 22 National Associations and has held ten World Green Infrastructure Congresses. WGIN has established supportive working research committees and has an active enthusiastic board of directors representing eleven nations. As a registered Not-For-Profit association our primary driver is passion and a strong united belief that our world must develop in respect and synergy with nature.
The transition from ‘grey to green and blue infrastructure’ for building and urban design is the goal of our efforts as a collaborative global network because “vegetation makes it possible”.Main EU files targeted
