Hvad vil det sige, at en by er økologisk robust og socialt retfærdig? Professor i landskabsarkitektur, Anne Whiston Spirn har i 40 år arbejdet med at kombinere miljø og sociale udfordringer, hvilket har ført til konkrete projekter som Philadelphia's "grønne" infrastruktur for bedre vandkvalitet. Forelæsningen med titlen "Restoring Nature, Rebuilding Community: Reflections on 40 Years of Action Research" bliver afholdt på KU på engelsk, og er åben for alle interesserede
What would it mean for a city to be ecologically robust and socially just? What would such a place be like? Through what means might such a vision be accomplished? And how might change be created and sustained? These are not questions to be explored in the abstract. They call for action research, for testing ideas in practice, engaging with real people, in actual places, to make discoveries from which principles can be drawn.
For the past four decades, Anne Whiston Spirns research and teaching has demonstrated how to combine concerns for environment, poverty, race, social equity, and educational reform and how university resources can be leveraged to address environmental and social challenges that confound society. These initiatives have resulted in real projects and programs in partnership with community residents, and they contributed to a revolution in water-quality management represented by Philadelphia’s landmark, billion-dollar “green” infrastructure project.
Join the lecture and hear Anne Whiston Sprin elaborate on this field.
The lecture will be followed by an informal reception
