Civic Ecology: A Citizen-Driven Framework for Communities
Published January 23, 2019
Much of the conversation around sustainable development has focused on designing better “hardware” – energy-efficient buildings; renewable energy; leaner, greener infrastructure. While these manifestations of sustainability in the built environment are important, they are not the whole solution. Great communities have robust “software”, the self-initiated, self-perpetuating activities, and social networks of local citizens. In this webinar, Tim Smith of the Civic Ecology Institute seeks to illuminate how that software and hardware fit together to constitute a completely sustainable community.
