DESCRIPTION:From food and water to media and education, how can we reclaim the commons 
 in our communities? This event will feature a keynote address from City 
 Repair Project founder Mark Lakeman, a free vegetarian dinner, and World 
 Cafe style conversation about possibilities for public placemaking and 
 reclaiming the commons in Santa Cruz. After discussing how we can become 
 more connected with the places and people around us, we'll venture 
 off-campus by bike, Bike Party-style, on a two-wheeled adventure through 
 our town.\n\nMark Lakeman is the co-founder of the non-profit placemaking 
 organization The City Repair Project and principal of the community 
 architecture and planning firm Communitecture. Lakeman is also an urban 
 place-maker and permaculture designer, community design facilitator, and an 
 inspiring catalyst in his very active commitment to the emergence of 
 sustainable cultural landscapes everywhere. Every design project he is 
 involved with furthers the development of a beneficial vision for human and 
 ecological communities. Whether this involves urban design and placemaking, 
 ecological building, encourages community interaction, or assists those who 
 typically do not have access to design services, his leadership has 
 benefited communities across the North American continent. These include 
 cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and Ottawa where City Repair Projects 
 are underway.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by UCSC's Common Ground Center 
 at Kresge College, People Power of Santa Cruz County, and numerous other 
 community organizations to be announced.\n\nABOUT THE SPONSORS\nThe mission
