THE TWENTYFIRST CENTURY IMPERATIVE
Website and Podcast
www.TFCIpodcast.com
The Twenty First-Century Imperative Podcast series will explore the approaches and insights of scientists, planners, designers, engineers,politicians, business entrepreneurs, and other successful change-makers, who are finding smart, effective ways to meet the three critical challenges of the Twenty-First Century Imperative:
How will we continue to live on our planet without destroying our biosphere?
How will we repair and regenerate the environmental damage we have already caused?
How will we adapt to the escalating impacts of climate change?
Each episode will feature an interview with an individual who we think you will find not only inspiring, but also very relevant to helping you answer the question: “what can I do to address the Twenty-First Century Imperative?"

In natural world, opportunities for novelty are most abundant when systems re-organize. With some resilience thinking, one can see water abundant lakes and networks coming up in vacant plots, along side roads controlling the overall fabric of the city. | ⇒More Info |
