PITTSBURGH: A MORE HUMANE METROPOLIS

<< Back

3/23/2007 - 3/23/2007

This one-day course will explore new “pathways” by which Pittsburgh and other cities are becoming more “humane.” Topics to be considered will include urban stream and wetland restoration, urban gardens on vacant lots and school sites, promoting healthful outdoor activities (e.g. rail trails), brownfield reuse, environmental education, and designing people-friendly public spaces.

The workshop will involve a series of speakers and panels, and provide opportunity for informal conversation. Presenters and discussants will include both local experts and invited speakers from other cities with significant experience to share. The program will balance practitioners, researchers, and citizen advocates from a variety of backgrounds and specialties. NGO staff and interested students are particularly welcome.

When: March 23, 2007, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Where: Omni William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA
