The buzzword "resilience" is everywhere these days. The 2018 USNC Pro delegation will not only take a look at Dutch innovation in the interface of nature and the built environment, but also how the built environment can be used, especially in the water space, to facilitate sustainability as cities and their environs increase in size and are expected to be accomodating to quality of life issues. A registration fee of $1950 covers most meals, in-country transportation, venue and admin costs. Airfare to and from the Netherlands and hotel are not included. A detailed agenda will be posted shortly.
