Sustainability: The City Is Where It’s At
Even as national policy priorities turn away from issues of sustainability, cities are taking a leadership role. Cities as diverse as Philadelphia and Chattanooga, for instance, are seeking to reinvent their cities with a new, “greener” identity. Join Dr. Melissa Keeley in a lively discussion about the possibilities and limitations of local action that balances the environment, economy and social equity on issues such as climate change, biodiversity preservation, and healthy food access.
