Sharing best practice
The Netherlands has pioneered
technologies and products to help
make cities greener and more attractive
to businesses and residents. And, the
Dutch government fully recognises
the great business potential of the
UK’s Northern cities; that’s why the
NBSO has opened its official UK office
in Manchester. After the success of this
first Greener Cities event, we are keen
to continue building relationships and
sharing best practice with public and
private organisations in the landscaping
and gardens sector.
If you have any questions or would like
further information or photographs
of the Greener Cities event please
contact Roxana de Raad or Els Steiger
at the NBSO on +44 (0) 161 834 6033.
