Grow Walk: Jason Packer discussing the Green Features of the Olympic Village

Other Sights is pleased to present the final walk for the Grow project.

Please join Jason Packer, sustainability consultant with Recollective for a lively walk through the Olympic Village.  Jason will discuss the green features of the development and how these innovations reflect the changing landscape of sustainable design.  How can sustainability be built into our urban environments and enacted in everyday life will be explored in this walking dialogue.
