true sustainability: cutting edge regional design and placemaking
DESCRIPTION
This session will present benchmark data gleaned from examples of the world’s best ecologically-based regional design/urban developments. The discussion also will include two ecologically-based regional/city restorative projects: the Clinton Climate Initiative in 12 cities around the world, and New Orleans’ post-Katrina experiences related to sustainable housing and community scale development and successful coordinated efforts by public authorities and private enterprise. This effort has created a permanent new economic base for the city, and eventually the ecological region, in sustainable industries. Attendees will benefit by seeing how to expand the scope of their practices, by learning benchmarked data from actual projects, and by obtaining information on research they can perform. Attendees will be enabled/empowered with the conviction that they can immediately influence their projects and communities at a profound scale.TRANSCRIPT
