	The WGRC 2008 will be held at Allen & Overy's modern London offices in Spitalfields. The building was completed in 2006 and was commissioned by Allen & Overy to meet the needs of a modern, international law firm and with strong environmental objectives in mind.  There are three landscaped green roof terraces and a fourth terrace with photovoltaic cells to capture the power of the sun and reduce the energy take of the building.  These green spaces provide an area where staff can relax and also help to reduce ‘urban heating’.
	The Greater London Authority is pleased to support the World Green Roof Congress.
	Green Roofs for Healthy Cities – North America, Inc. was founded in 1999 as a small network of public and private organizations and is now a rapidly growing 501(c)(6), not-for-profit industry association. Our mission is to increase the awareness of the economic, social and environmental benefits of green roofs and green walls, and other forms of living architecture through education, advocacy, professional development and celebrations of excellence.
