I am a semi-retired licensed architect and visual artist currently living in Wisconsin, who is very interested in conceptuallizing, planning, designing, developing and building sustainable, economically, ethnically, socially and educationally integrated communities. Talk to me about ways that cities and communities can reduce their dependance on extractive fuels like oil, coal, natural gas and gasoline for energy. Talk to me about strategic ways to reduce the negative impact of foreign trade and unfair trade policy on local job creation and the production of goods and services to maintain a sustainable economy for everybody in ALL of our communities, such that the results are fewer or no losers and many [life and lifetime] winners.
As a hobby, I read books dealing with economics, politics, as well as architectural design and engineering. Talk to me about ways to remedy the deleterious effects of racism in the urban planning and architectural design professions.
