The Story Behind City Repair
Sponsored By: Ecotrust
Date(s): Friday, Jul 11 - Friday, Jul 11, 2008
Time: 12:00 PM
- 1:00 PM
Location: Natural Capital Center
Description:
Mark Lakeman, the co-founder of City Repair, will be sharing with us the City Repair story.
For those of you not familiar with City Repair, nor experienced the cob building wonder of the Village Building Convergence, this non-profit was formed here in in Portland in 1996 by citizen activists who wanted a more community-oriented and ecologically sustainable society.
Born out of a successful grassroots neighborhood initiative that converted a residential street intersection into a neighborhood public square, City Repair began its work with the idea that localization (of culture, of economy, of decision-making) is a necessary foundation of sustainability.
By reclaiming urban spaces to create community-oriented places, they plant the seeds for greater neighborhood communication, empower our communities and nurture our local culture.
Join us to hear how it all started.
