Please join us for The Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the Tulane School of Architecture co-sponsored symposium. TuSA Professor Tyler Antrup is speaking, along with other TuSA Professor, Sonsoles Vela, who is helping lead a workshop.
The symposium welcome session will include remarks from Catherine Sckerl, AIA, AICP, Professor of Practice, and Managing Director of the Center on Climate Change and Urbanism.
The goals of the symposium are as follows: Highlight current green infrastructure projects, policies, and plans in New Orleans, the Central Business District, and other neighborhoods demonstrating climate mitigation and city farming strategies.
Identify local, non-commercial food growing projects and sustainable market pathways for fresh products that reach residents and consumers in urban environments.
Facilitate conversations between institutions, organizations, and government agencies about the next steps to incorporate food-productive and non-food-productive green infrastructure into the Greater New Orleans region.
