Resilient Cities: Urban Strategies for Transition Times [upcoming conference] #GGRC09
I feel a bit guilty about not knowing earlier this year about the conference that starts this week“Resilient Cities: Urban Strategies for Transition Times”. Superbly organized by the Center for Urban Innovation, the conference looks like it’s going to be a fantastic hit. I feel even worse that I totally missed the opportunity to present at CANSEE.
The CANSEE (The Canadian Association for Ecological Economics) conference is coinciding with Gaining Ground: Resilient Cities this year, and I completely missed the chance to give a talk. This is shameful for me as I totally have stuff that I could present (a substantial part of my research is in urbanization and sustainability) and I completely missed deadlines, etc. Next year it won’t be in the city where I live in, so it’ll be my fault. Anyway…
I was invited to attend Gaining Ground: Resilient Cities by both Gene Miller (the main organizer of Resilient Cities) and Bill Weaver (Founder of the Media That Matters conference), both of whom I was delighted to meet at the Vancouver Observer relaunch. I’m really looking forward to the conference, it looks like it’s going to be great. Thanks to Gene and Bill for the invite.
Most likely, I will write either a day-summary or a liveblog of a couple of sessions, so track my tweets/liveblogs (and anything associated with the conference) by using the hashtag #GGRC09. You can learn more from the Resilient Cities conference blog.
And who knows, maybe I’ll give a talk at the next Gaining Ground conference!
