Join visionary architect Mark Lakeman and Jill Cloutier of 
Sustainable World Radio www.kcsb.org  as he inspires and guides the 
grid structure of a typical American city into a vital social commons 
with Portland's City Repair Project ( www.cityrepair.org),

Now a national movement, City Repair is about cities, towns, grids 
and the intersections where our lives can converge. 
Multidisciplinary, City Repair combines architecture, urban planning, 
anthropology, community development, public art, permaculture and 
ecological design in projects that transform public space. Formed in 
1996, City Repair was conceived as an "anti-virus" to combat 
isolation and over-commodification of conventionally designed cities, 
by literally inserting villages into cities.

Trained as an architect, Mark Lakeman is a founding member of the 
City Repair Project, and the creative director of the ecological 
design firm Communitecture. Each Spring he coordinates the Village 
Building Convergence, an annual event sponsored by the city of 
Portland that brings architects, planners, and artists together for 
ten days of concentrated work with neighborhood residents and 
volunteers. He has traveled extensively in southern Mexico where his 
inspiration for community living came from living with traditional 
Mayan peoples.
