Resilient Urban Futures Book Launch

Join us for a roundtable discussion and launch of Resilient Urban Futures, a new book exploring the ways in which cities are profoundly impacted by climate change, and strategies for cultivating more resilient futures. Based on practical experience in participatory visioning in nine Latin American and U.S. cities, the volume provides tools for engaging urban communities in resilience strategies. Authors of this open access volume will discuss urban climate inequity, modeling and communicating the impact of extreme climate and weather, as well as visioning equitable, positive, and resilient futures.

From the City Architecture to the Ecology of the City

While Aldo Rossi’s book distinguished the architecture OF the city as a collective artifact as opposed to individual buildings IN the city, Dr. Steward Pickett, in framing the work of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, distinguished between the ecology OF the city and the green space IN the city that had been the previous focus of urban ecology.

How can the two conceptions of the architecture and ecology of the city be linked? With the recent publication of the book Science for the Sustainable City, researchers from the Baltimore Ecosystem Study present empirical evidence on the intersection of ecology, environmental justice and design in Baltimore.
