SBCC Center for Sustainability Presents:
"Cities As the Solution"
Building Cities in Balance with Nature
with Richard Register of Ecocity Builders
Friday, February 11, 7-9:30pm, 2011
Admission $5
Fe Bland Auditorium, SBCC West Campus
"C ities are by far the largest creation
of humanity. Given that cities are so large,
damaging, and yet potentially beneficial, you'd
think we would have long ago devised the science,
study, discipline, and art of ecologically
healthy city building". So states ecocity
pioneer Richard Register, who has been
passionately familiarizing audiences with basic
ecocity theory and design for more than 30 years.
On Friday, February 11, 7-9:30pm, the
Santa Barbara City College Center for
Sustainability presents an evening with
Richard Register, author of "Ecocities;
Rebuilding Cities in Balance With Nature", as he
shares the concepts of ecocity theory, the city
today, an overview of the city in evolution; and
methods for building the low-energy, sustainable
city of tomorrow, grounded in ecology and
whole-systems thinking.
Much is occurring around the world with
ecological design for cities, where soon 70% of
the world's population will reside. Planners are
beginning to understand the imperative for cities
to function more like ecosystems, where cities
are regenerative rather than depletive, creating
their own food supplies, soils, and energy, while
diminishing and eliminating waste and emissions.
How will this transformation occur?
Richard Register and others have explored
how transformation of cities might occur at
EcoCity World Summits taking place around the
globe for more than 20 years, the next one in
Montreal, Canada. Register will share examples
and case studies of ecological city design from
cities like Vancouver, Canada; Curritiba, Brazil;
Bogota, Colombia; Freiberg, Germany; the newly
built eco-city Dongtan, China---and closer to
home, the innovative work of architect Paolo
Soleri with his visionary Arcosanti project near
Prescott, Arizona. Updates chronicling ecocities
and ecocity initiatives emerging will also be
shared.
Richard Register is one of the world's
great theorists and authors in ecological city
design and planning. The founder of Urban
Ecology and Ecocity Builders, he convened the
first International Ecocity Conference in 1990,
later launching the EcoCity World Summits. He
lectures around the world, and has three decades
of experience activating local and international
ecocity projects.
Don't miss this opportunity to imagine what Santa
Barbara could look like with an "Ecocity"
perspective.
The the evening talk takes place on
Friday, Feb 11, 7-9:30pm at the Fe Bland
Auditorium, Santa Barbara City College West
Campus, 721 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara. Admission
is $5, no reservations are required. A follow-up
workshop takes place on Saturday, Feb 12. The
event is presented by Santa Barbara City College
Center for Sustainability. For more information,
