sustainable

Program
Some of Cleveland’s neighborhoods are becoming models of sustainability; others have the building blocks in place. This forum will provide an opportunity for community development professionals, city planners, designers, developers, investors, elected officials and the public to brainstorm how best to build on these assets to create more sustainable neighborhoods.

Our guest speaker, Matthew Carmona, is Head of the Planning School at the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London, and is a well known educator, theorist, and designer in the field of urban design, with a special competence in sustainable planning. He will discuss the policy context for delivering high quality built and natural environments through sustainable urban planning.

Representatives of Cleveland’s community development corporations will showcase sustainable neighborhoods, the lessons learned from development successes, and the tools and potential partners (institutions, funders, and professionals).

A program of the Levin College Forum; the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative; the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, Kent State University; American Institute of Architects, Cleveland Chapter; City of Cleveland, Planning Commission; Third Planet Foundation; Ohio Planning Conference, Cleveland Chapter; and the Cleveland Green Building Coalition.
