The Long Emergency is Vancouver's Problem Too
Thursday, Jan. 24, 7 pm
Urban critic James Howard Kunstler is SFU's first visiting fellow in urban sustainable development. Kunstler says he wrote The Geography of Nowhere, "Because I believe a lot of people share my feelings about the tragic landscape of highway strips, parking lots, housing tracts, mega-malls, junked cities, and ravaged countryside that makes up the everyday environment." His 2005 book, The Long Emergency, is about the challenges posed by the coming permanent global oil crisis, climate change and other "converging catastrophes of the 21st Century." A former staff writer for Rolling Stone Magazine, he has no formal training in architecture or related design fields.
