Culture plays a critical role in shaping how we receive and respond to information, guiding action on the micro and macro scales. How can stories help us to navigate this changing planet? In this talk, Emily will explore the possibilities that interdisciplinary nonfiction storytelling can offer when just the facts fall short. How can braiding journalism, science, history, memory, and imagination create space for discovering or remembering other ways of being and acting in relationship to the earth? She will draw on her own writing on environmental contamination from nuclear weapons production and emerging work on responses to climate change, as well as examples from other boundary-crossing nonfiction writers.

Most cities and towns in North America are zoned almost entirely as “single-family residential.” This means that when they are fully built-out every farm, field, and forest is developed. These communities will always be car-oriented, sprawling, and too low-density to support public transit. However, this is not the only way: abundant housing advocates are increasingly coalescing around the need for “new towns,” large master-planned communities that can happen through adaptive zoning innovation. These new towns consider the range of transportation, water/sewer, electricity, waste, safety, education, and other infrastructures while allowing for the creation of places that are mixed-use, walkable, bikeable, and dense enough to support public transit.  This symposium will bring together creative thinkers from around the world who are advancing knowledge in these areas, helping to shape a new kind of planning and design practice—one that embraces innovative approaches to housing crises through community-based solutions.
