Sustainable urbanism and agriculture

A public lecture by Doug Farr – March 2008

From the website posted April 13, 2010:

This evening, Doug Farr is going to talk about integrating sustainable urbanism and agriculture on the urban edge.  Having evaluated the sustainability of East Fraserlands, a project along Vancouver’s river edge planned by DPZ, Farr has been commissioned by Century Group (this evening’s sponsor) to consider opportunities for sustainable solutions at the suburban/rural edge in the Southlands of Tsawwassen.  For those who care about the future of this region, this is a must-hear lecture.

Doug Farr is a pivotal figure in sustainability today, leading and practicing at the crossroads of urbanism and green building. His firm, Farr Associates, holds the global distinction of being the first and only firm to design three LEED Platinum buildings. At the same time, he has served as Chair of the LEED Neighborhood Development Core Committee, leading the development of sustainable performance metrics for urban development.
