Well worth a read. @BradZarnett dismisses greening business-as-usual & silver bullet billionaires before outlining his own proposals. You may not agree with all he says, but he refreshingly cuts thro much of the rhetorical nonsense masquerading as argument medium.com/swlh/can-gretas-m… – at Manchester, England

In Akron’s North Hill neighborhood, community leaders & residents are striving to find a collective way forward. Planners can be the link, facilitating conversations that lead to a shared-future. We're proud to support the work happening in midsize legacy cities. #PlanningHome
Through a new @landpolicy @leagueofcities community of practice, leaders from @AkronOhioMayor, @lansingmichigan, & @CityRochesterNY are collaborating & comparing notes on how to revitalize midsize legacy cities bit.ly/2JGHtIg @Its_ROSScheck @APA_Planning @EnterpriseNow

As we declare a climate emergency and talk of a Green New Deal accelerates - we must acknowledge the close link between working hours & carbon emissions.
Research by @Autonomy_UK shows we need to work less to become sustainable.
