There are a lot of new details and of course, there’s always something new to say about our work and our vision.

Majora Carter takes a visionary approach to solving the problem of urban blight. In the 1990s, she successfully led the South Bronx through environmental renewal and now serves as president of Majora Carter Group, a green-economic development consulting firm. Carters presentation is No More Single Purpose Anything.

We like this one because Majora gets to talk about the national (and international) implications of environmental justice … it’s a great sequel to the 2006 talk and we hope you enjoy all the new details! Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

“I’m interested in what I like to call the “triple bottom line” that sustainable development can produce. Developments that have the potential to create positive returns for all concerned: the developers, government and the community where these projects go up… There’s enough precedent out there to show that a sustainable, community-friendly development can still make a fortune.”

In an emotionally charged talk, MacArthur-winning activist Majora Carter details her fight for environmental justice in the South Bronx — and shows how minority neighborhoods suffer most from flawed urban policy.
