Terre Verde: Creating Resilient Cities

Fifty five percent of humanity lives in cities. By 2050, that number will have gone up to to 70 percent. Our future is urban, yet urbanization in it’s current form is threatening the future of humanity and the natural world. Terra Verde host and Earth Island Journal editor, Maureen Nandini Mitra, and Alison Sant, cofounder of the Studio for Urban Projects and author of the book, From the Ground Up: Local Efforts to Create Resilient Cities, discuss this conundrum and the many pathways towards reinventing our cities to be regenerative and equitable.
