Participation in Creating Sustainable Communities
The creation of sustainable cities depends upon sustainable technologies, green infrastructure, social justice, as well as the wisdom and perspectives of all its people. When we engage communities in meaningful dialogue, we can create both awareness and agency. A central part of my work is engaging young people and community in considering how to create a more sustainable future. Young people consider the rights of other groups of people as well as other species in their thinking. They can collaborate and develop recommendations when we give them these opportunities. When we engage young people, we are not only creating a brighter future, we are learning how to make a better present.
