Leading Practices in City Building for Future
Rozanski Hall, University of Guelph
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
May 5, 2006
A RARE OPPORTUNITY
The Guelph Civic League is proud to announce "Amazing Possibilities: Leading ractices in City Building for Future," a blockbuster half-day conference for anyone interested in why our cities aren't working and how they can be fixed. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear from two world-renowned experts on better ways for the future, then engage in a lively question-and-answer session.
JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER
We are fortunate to have Mr. Kunstler as our keynote speaker. Perhaps the single most articulate and provocative critic of suburban sprawl, he is the author of best-selling The Long Emergency, The Geography of Nowhere, Home From Nowhere(Simon & Schuster), and The City in Mind (Free Press). A thinker and writer of great passion, his highly entertaining and challenging presentation is not to be missed.
PATRICK CONDON
Mr. Condon is Director of Landscape Architecture at the University of British Columbia and the UBC James Taylor Chair in Landscape and Livable Environments. He is also the driving force behind the Headwaters Sustainable Development Demonstration Project, a sustainable community for 15,000 residents slated for construction on a 500-acre site in Surrey, BC. Hear how cities of the future must be built, starting now.
Spend a single afternoon. Understand so much more.
Location: Rozanski Hall, University of Guelph
Professionals - Until April 15: $50. After April 15: $60.
