Amsterdam ‘City Doughnut’ Plan to Build Back Better, with Katherine Trebeck
As we remain restricted to our localities, SEDA and Transition Edinburgh have arranged another on-line event on the theme of Build Back Better, to follow May’s discussion with Robin McAlpine of Common Weal.
This was a great evening, with over 100 people taking part via Zoom, with plenty of opportunity to debate the possibility of their plan for rebuilding after the lockdown, and we hope you will join us to hear Katherine Trebeck discuss the radical approach for a more just society that is being taken in Amsterdam.
We also want to highlight two other on line events around sustainable deign that you may want to look into and take part in: on interior design and timber
If you missed May’s Build Back Better event, you will shortly be able to catch up on it (and other past SEDA events), by watching Robin McAlpine’s talk on their Green New Deal plan, through SEDA’s new Resources Webpage, here:
