New technologies were showcased at the event that I believe will help the industry progress towards the future. Australian Institute of Horticulture Inc. Mr Wayne Van Balen, President GreenUrbanScape Asia Congress was an enriching experience. I attended the session on bringing biodiversity back to the cities, and found it very interesting to see the amount of green space that s been brought back to Singapore in the last 50 years through collective initiatives. It s amazing to see the absolute balance between urban and green space in Singapore. Another session was on Arboriculture where topics such as litigation were covered which every arboriculture consultant should know about to maintain a true professional standing. Huy Khuong Consultant Mr Ngoc Huy Khuong, Director It was our first time visiting GreenUrbanScape Asia The meeting with one of the key exhibitors at the show showcased a lot of products and services that matched our project.
