John G. Ellis (Architect, Urban Designer & Teacher at UC Berkeley & Mithun Architects, San Francisco)
President Clinton’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanual said “never let a good crisis go to waste, start planning for the future”. This lecture will look at ideas about rebuilding our cities and neighborhoods in a post pandemic world while addressing the equally challenging crisis of Climate Change.
The Green New Deal offers a template for rebuilding our broken economies and ravaged cities by exploring ideas such as the 20 minute Neighbourhood and examining relevant case studies of sustainable urbanism from around the world.
