The Humane Metropolis

Dr. Platt is professor of geography emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and founder of the Ecological Cities Project, now located in Northampton. The talk will be based on his edited book of the same title published in 2006 by the University of Massachusetts Press and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. See: http://www.humanemetropolis.org/ for more information.

As cities become the dominant living environment for humans, there is a growing concern about how to make such places more habitable, more healthy and safe, more ecological and more equitable—in short more humane.
Rutherford H. Platt
