From the website: "We are just in the beginning stage of planning a Humane Metropolis workshop and conference for Baltimore next June. As with our earlier two regional events in Pittsburgh (March 2007) and Riverside, CA (Jan. 2008), it will be planned to reflect and share experience in the region relating to the various topics embraced by Humane Metropolis perspective, especially parks revitalization, urban farming and markets, stream and habitat restoration, green stormwater management, social justice programs, urban environmental education and so on.
Our book "The Humane Metropolis" contains essays on these and other topics by 26 authors and co-authors -- more info on this, and past conference programs, is on the website" http://www.humanemetropolis.org.
We are beginning to identify various programs and experts in the Baltimore/DC region who are working on stream restoration, habitat restoration, youth training programs, urban farming, etc. who might be invited to share their experience at the conference. This process actually started this summer with visits to Washington Parks and People and the Earth Conservation Corps, both working with environmental clean-up and youth training along the Anacostia in Northeast DC.
If you have any involvement in these kinds of activities in the region, or can point us to people who we should know about, we would certainly welcome your assistance in developing and publicizing the event which will feature local programs and initiatives relating to "Humane Metropolis"activities and initiatives in Baltimore, DC, and nearby older communities in the region.
