How can old buildings contribute to New York City's sustainable future? On Saturday, October 16th, 2010 policy makers, architects, environmentalists, planners, preservationists and others gathered at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation to explore how preservation can be integrated into New York City's climate change, green building and sustainability agendas. The goal of the conference was to find common ground across disciplines and seek to advance both the fields of sustainability and preservation.

This conference was made possible through generous support of The New York Community Trust and The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Richard and Julia Moe Fund.
