Tomorrow & Wednesday - The Twin Cities Urban Sustainability Forum from @RiverLifeUMN
Monday, October 31, 2011 at 1:30PMFrom the River Talk Blog:
Too often, we don’t see clearly the connections between sustainable rivers and sustainable cities. We think of sustainable rivers as only possible in rural/natural areas, where the human impacts can be minimized, measured, and monitored. Urban stretches of river, by this logic, are to be written off, incurably corrupted with humanity.
I exaggerate, but maybe not by much.
Fortunately, the growth of research and management planning around sustainable cities bodes well for the future of sustainable urban rivers. For some of the best and newest thinking on sustainable cities, I recommend attendance at a two day symposium next week (sorry for the short notice!) on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota.
When: November 2 (8:30 am – 4:30 pm) and November 3 (9:00 am – 1:30 pm)
Where: University of MN Continuing Education Center St. Paul Campus
