Speaker

Julian Agyeman (Department Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University, USA)

Description

In his talk, Julian will outline the concept of 'just sustainabilities' as a response to the ‘equity deficit’ of much sustainability thinking and practice. He will explore his contention that who can belong in our cities will ultimately determine what our cities can become. He will illustrate his ideas with examples from urban planning and design, food justice and the ‘Minneapolis Paradox’.
