About the Workshop
The Irish Green Building Council (IGBC), in partnership with Trinity College Dublin, is delighted to invite you to an exclusive half-day workshop that will help shape recommendations for scaling up nature-led residential development in Ireland.
Investors, regulators, and policymakers are increasingly encouraging developers to integrate green infrastructure and biodiversity features into new residential developments. Yet, despite this momentum, nature-led design is not happening at scale.
At this interactive workshop, you will:
- Test the solutions and recommendations developed by IGBC and Trinity College Dublin.
- Contribute your expertise to shaping practical pathways for wider adoption.
- Network with senior professionals across development, planning, ecology, architecture, and public bodies.
This workshop is part of the BIO-NEIGHBOUR initiative, a partnership between IGBC and Trinity College Dublin, funded by the Housing Agency.
Who Should Attend?
We are bringing together 50 senior professionals from across sectors, including:
- Ecologists
- Architects & Landscape Architects
- Planners
- Developers & Contractors
- Consultants
- Public bodies
