Last week I profiled a story about an entire city being covered in green roofs. The development seems to be more cultural and commercial development outside of Paris, as opposed to an actual "new" city, but here's an artist's rendering of what it may look like:
-In Toronto this week the Evergreen Brickworks, an amazing repurposed environmental center, opens the Post-Oil City, an exhibition, film, and talk concerning shrinking footprints.
Presented will be innovative projects from Africa, America and Asia that address a number of questions, for instance "How will the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy affect the process of urban planning and the city?"
-Simon Fraser University's Burnaby campus will get British Columbia's first modular, community gardening/student education space. Featured are easily removable sheds, rain barrels, composting units and 60 planting beds all atop shipping pallets.
-Interested in more moveable gardens? Check out the Nomad Gardens.
-New York City is accepting new applications for community gardens.
