Front Range Eco-Social Solutions: A Bioneers Network Event

In 2004, the world’s population shifted from majority rural to majority urban. By 2050, the United Nations predicts, 66% of the global population will reside in urban areas. Just, equitable and environmentally regenerative urbanization is key to the future of humanity. Yet cities today are sites of profound and growing inequality and environmental degradation. Spurred by the global phenomenon of gentrification and an infinite growth economic system, future prospects of sustainable cities are indeed grim. This panel is comprised of food, housing, and environmental justice academics and community activists working towards envisioning and implementing strategies of verdantly abundant cities for the benefit of people and planet.
