Environmental Ministry Lecture/Discussion features Søren Simonsen, Salt Lake City Councilman, addressing Planning Challenges for 21st Century Salt Lake City on Friday, April 16, 2010, 7-8:30 PM, Elliot Hall.
About this program Søren wrote: As cities in Utah and the western United States expand rapidly, and as cities increase in complexity of systems—energy, transportation, water and waste—the need for sustainable planning becomes ever more apparent and important. Well-planned communities are self-evident, and all around us we see the need for our concerted work. As we look forward, the future will not only require our best individual efforts but also the increased leveraging of partnerships. I am reminded constantly of the great opportunity and responsibility we share as stewards of both the built and natural environment. The future is in our hands.
Join Environmental Ministry and Salt Lake City Councilman Søren Simonsen as we share a conversation about the past, present and future of Salt Lake City, and how we can work together to make this the city we can all live with—for us and for our future generations on Friday April 16th at 7 PM in Elliott Hall.
