Smart Growth: People Habitat |
Elements of our built environment—homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, and regions—must work in harmony with each other and the natural environment in order to be sustainable. Longtime smart growth leader Kaid Benfield, author of People Habitat: 25 Ways To Think About Greener, Healthier Cities, shares eight key thoughts about better communities, including why cities sometimes don't matter as much as we may think, how green housing developments may be no such thing, why Americans don't walk much anymore and why, ultimately, sustainability must come from the heart. A book signing follows the talk. 1.0 LU HSW (AIA) / 1.0 CM (AICP) / 1.0 PDH (LA CES)
