DESCRIPTION:Eric Corey Freed of organicARCHITECT and noted author will speak about 
 greening American cities. American cities are confronting serious 
 sustainability issues and are in dire need of tangible, deployable & 
 affordable solutions.\n\nThis talk explores the lost city of Detroit, 
 analyzing its decline from the once great "American Dream City" and mapping 
 out a plan to transform it into an oasis of sustainability. In contrast, 
 Dallas, a place born from the oil industry is now developing one of the 
 most sustainable city blocks in the US.\n\nThere are lessons here for 
 Silicon Valley.\n\n* Uncover hidden opportunities to radically transform 
 our cities.\n* Discover the forces working against progress and what you 
 can do about them.\n* Map out an action plan.\n\nEric Corey Freed, LEED AP, 
 Hon. FIGP, is principal of organicARCHITECT, an architecture and consulting 
 firm in California, with nearly 20 years of experience in green
