Gulf Coast Green

CONFERENCE THEME:

Symbiotic Resilience: Designing Better Growth

Houston has faced repeated storms that flood the city or cause massive power outages, raising a critical question: Has the city’s infrastructure reached a breaking point in its ability to handle our accelerating regional growth rate coupled with the growing impacts of climate change? As we mark the 19th year of Gulf Coast Green, we invite you to explore how we can Build better and more resilient in anticipation of an increasingly volatile climate and the likelihood of more frequent natural disasters. By embracing design practices that respect nature, we must treat our built environment as an adaptable, flexible, and inclusive asset for all. Whether working on large-scale regional projects or individual homes, every choice we make as designers shape the future according to the four key goals outlined by the AIA Climate Action Plan: achieving Zero Carbon, fostering Equity, promoting Health, and ensuring Resilience. Join fellow professionals as we tackle tough questions and share innovative solutions to help our region thrive in the face of future challenges.
