Meet other local people who are interested in Sustainable Development and New Urbanism.
Let's define what we mean by "sustainable," "energy-efficient," "green," etc. and then work toward making it happen here in Chicago! What are the building blocks of "sustainability?" What are the most important issues that need to be addressed? What issues are important to you when you look at your home, your neighborhood and your city? What actions can we take to effect true change that benefits everyone? We hope to answer these questions through conversations with local experts and other community members.
Let's work toward having more energy-efficient, healthy and "sustainable" options when looking for a new home. Let's create neighborhoods that are of human scale, cohesive and prepared for the future. Let's restore our urban fabric and communities!

What members are saying

 Great idea. Let's focus on constructive action, not on complaining about why things aren't better. Change begins with us.

 I don't know if anyone from the NU group was there, but I did talk to the IMI and YAF folks.

      I have a degree in Interior Design. I plan to get my MArch very soon. Learning about LEED, new technologies and how to make energy saving technologies more affordable and convenient for the average homeowner is a priority.

      I'm in the process of buying an old building in lakeview and want to make super green. I already own the bar located at the property and would love to host a meet up as well.
