Environmental Affairs Symposium

Date: October 10 2011 - October 13 2011 Location: - Various campus locations

The 14th Annual Environmental Affairs Symposium, “Citisphere,” seeks to understand how the complex system of world cities works among other spheres of human and environmental significance.

Physicists, sociologists, urban planners, architects, ecologists, artists, and historians will speak to the ways cities grow and develop, and to the ways cities and people shape each other. Is there such a thing as too much planning? Do cities ever die? Which features of cities can be generalized? Who and what makes a city flourish? Can cities generate “environmental capital”?
