Guest Lecture: Hamil Pearsal: Is Green Code for Gentrification? The Paradox of the Sustainable City
Wednesday, March 11, 2020, 7:00 PM (EVENT IS BEING RESCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER TIME)
Weinstock Lecture Hall, Willman Business Center

Urban greening is intended to improve access to environmental amenities for under-served residents. But, it also can lead to displacement or marginalization of long-term residents. This talk illustrates the dilemma of green gentrification and presents a new approach to evaluate ‘just greening,’ demonstrated through case studies in New York City and Philadelphia.

This event is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required.
