CSR Event

Intentional Cities, Intentional Economies

Gwendolyn Hallsmith, is the founder and Executive Director of Global Community Initiatives (GCI), her book, The Key to Sustainable Cities: Meeting Human Needs, Transforming Community Systems, and a new workbook Taking Action for Sustainability: The EarthCAT Guide to Community Development, are being used by several communities to initiate an innovative new planning process - including the City of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, and the City of Newburgh, NY. The approach is based on using universal human needs as a starting point for engaging in a multi-stakeholder process, building on assets, and using a whole system understanding that identifies critical leverage points for change.

Part of the MBA in Managing for Sustainability program at the Marlboro College Graduate Center, different speakers will be featured each month.
All presentations are free and open to the public.
