The significance of sustainable neighborhoods is exemplified by the fact that, for the first time in history, over half the world'spopulation lives in cities; that share is projected to reach 70% by 2050. LEED-ND came about because of a growing recognition that achievement of sustainability goals requires action at all levels of the built environment. The planning and design of neighborhoods profoundly affect their performance, which in turn, influences livability, equity, and prosperity for generations that will occupy a neighborhood over its life. The course is organized around five learning objectives to give participants a basic understanding of LEED-ND; how it can be applied by designers, developers, and communities; and tips for navigating the certification process.
This free webinar is scheduled for June 27th at 1:30 ET.

This webinar is also approved for CNU-A Continuing Ed.

A recent blog post commenting on the growth of suburban poverty has the headline: "As Cities Prosper, Poor Move to Suburbs." The headline seems to imply a simple story: poor people priced out of the city are moving to suburbs. (In fairness, the story itself is much less simplistic). But it seems to me that there are a variety of other possible explanations for the growth in suburban poverty:
