This question has animated Adi Nochur for the entirety of his academic and professional careers. From starting as an Environmental Studies major and a student activist on the Tufts campus, to advocating for federal climate policy in Washington, DC, to now advancing regional urban planning and transportation solutions in his native Greater Boston area, Adi will share lessons learned and insights gained from over 20 years of climate and sustainability work across multiple issues, scales, and sectors—from walkability to brownfields, from local to international, from non-profit to government. He will also speak to the power of arts and planning as tools to drive sustainable change, and he encourages lecture attendees to discover their inner urban planner as well.
