Why GreenBlue? The Meaning of our New Name

GreenBlue_Logo

Previously operating in North America as Citygreen Urban, our company name was changed to GreenBlue Urban at the beginning of 2015.  The reason for this new identity is to better express our passion for green infrastructure, stormwater management, and complimenting street furnishings.  Our new name and logo were created with the subliminal message of trees and water linked creating GreenBlue, in order to better represent this vision.
