Public Talk: This City in Seven Years – My Greenest City

The City of Vancouver has set a bold goal for itself: to be the world’s greenest city by 2020. But while the metrics for what make a city livable—public transportation, access to quality education, cultural amenities—are easy to come by, what makes a city green is a little less clear. Sure, the number of green jobs and bike lanes are factors, but pollution travels, so what does that mean for “city limits”? Can clean tech truly balance resource extraction? What is the role of the city as producer versus the city as consumer?

Join SFU Public Square, in partnership with Spur and The Tyee, for a discussion on what it means not just to be green, but the greenest city in the world.
