To mark the last days of the exhibition Living in a sustainable city, one of the most influential urban ecology visionaries, Richard Register, president and founder of Ecocity Builders, is going to present the Ecocity conference Rebuilding Cities in Balance with Nature at the Écomusée du fier monde.

The event is an opportunity to explore the place of the city in evolution, history, and nature. Register will present possible changes we can make to reduce our ecological impact and ways to foster human interaction and social justice. He will also talk about efficient strategies to transition to an ecocity.

Participants will also be able to visit the exhibition Living in a sustainable city that ends June 13, 2010. There are only a few days left!
