Let’s talk about what’s next for people and the planet. Join The Nature Conservancy as we celebrate the kickoff event for our 2015 Future of Nature speaker series.

"The Future of the City: Can Cities be the Key to a Greener World?"

As the world becomes increasingly urban and populations rise, living in denser cities may be part of the solution to humanity’s resource challenges. Can urban areas be environmentally sound? What role can technological innovation play? How can Boston become a leader in green design? Where do the cities of the future exist today?

We are excited to hear from a panel of leading thinkers with a range of professional backgrounds: Nigel Jacob, Urban Technologist in Residences with Living Cities, Kent Lars...on, a dynamic urban research scientist at MIT and Pascal Mittermaier, the Conservancy’s Global Managing Director, Cities.

The discussion will also be moderated by WBUR reporter, Bruce Gellerman.

Please join the conversation! Tickets are $25. For more information and ticket purchasing please visit nature.org/future

For $40, a pass can be purchased for the series’ first two events—“The Future of the City: Can Cities be the Key to a Greener World” and “The Future of Fish: Can We Bring Global Fisheries Back From the Brink?"

A reception with hors d'oeuvres and cash bar will begin at 5:30 pm, and our panel discussion starts at 6:30 pm.
