New Public Lecture from the SFU City Program
Larry Beasley and Jonathan Barnett on “Ecodesign for Cities and Suburbs”
.
A couple of North America’s best urban designers have distilled two careers’ worth of knowledge into a new book: Ecodesign for Cities and Suburbs. The SFU City Program is pleased to host both Larry Beasley and Jonathan Barnett for a lecture that will explore the important themes from their book and their experience.
Come learn how cities can reshape themselves to limit global warming, re-energize suburban commercial corridors with bus rapid transit, reclaim wasteful transportation infrastructure for public amenities, and make cities more attractive for family living.
Specifically, Larry and Jonathan’s talk will cover the following:
– Solutions for a city’s environmental compatibility
– Diversifying movement choices
– Urban consumers’ aspirations for quality livability
– The pros and cons of community amenity contributions
