Great Mountain Forest Talk: Regenerative Building and Bioregional Synergies Between Forests and Urban Dwellings
Date: 02/24/2024
Time: 4:00 pm-5:30 pm
By 2050, our species will add 2.5 billion new inhabitants to the planet’s cities. This massive global demographic trend will call for a construction boom of unprecedented scale, which will, in turn, correspond to a doubling of existing building stock, a tripling of current urban land area, a massive spike in atmospheric carbon concentrations, and a host of other less easily measured impacts to natural systems and landscapes. What if instead of depleting our planet’s forests, peatlands, and wetlands, the making of global buildings and cities could incentivize their restoration and enhance biodiversity?
Join Alan Organschi, Principal and Partner at Gray Organschi Architecture and Senior Critic at the Yale School of Architecture, as he poses the answer to this forecasted issue and discusses a way forward.
This is a Weekend in Norfolk event, sponsored by Great Mountain Forest. There will be a virtual option to join.
