CNU DC Salon on the Sustainable DC Initiative
September 28, 2011, 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
National Portrait Gallery, Courtyard Café
750 9th Street NW, Washington DC
"Dear CNU DC Member:
The District of Columbia leadership has requested input from our organization and others as it develops a new unified vision and comprehensive framework for a more sustainable Washington DC. The end goal: to connect sustainability with economic development and become the most sustainable city in the U.S. You can read all about the initiative at http://sustainable.dc.gov.
As an organization dedicated to more humane and sustainable urban places in the DC region, the city leadership is particularly interested in our ideas on how to accomplish these goals. What ideas do you have for programs, practices, and policies to move Sustainable DC closer to its ultimate goals?
You are invited to an informal CNU DC Salon to discuss your ideas on Wednesday, September 28 from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the National Portrait Gallery, Courtyard Café at 750 9th Street NW, Washington DC, near Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro Station. You will be able to get refreshments until 6:30.
If you are unable to attend, please send your ideas to Stephanie.Bothwell@verizon.net by September 27, 2011. Be as detailed as possible in your proposals. We want to hear about it! We will compile the ideas and present them to the DC Department of Planning, as requested. Thanks and apologies for such late notice.
Hope to see you there,
Stephanie Bothwell
Board Chair, CNU DC"
As urban areas at high risk to climate change impacts begin to experience more frequent and intense floods. A set of land management adaptation strategies, less contentious, will involve changes to building codes to ensure that buildings on coastlines are elevated, or construction designs that have the capacity to withstand higher wind speeds, or require building materials. I am pleased to visit your blog.
