Sneinton and St Ann's Transition group present a film showing of 'A Convienient Truth - Urban Solutions from Curitiba'
7.30pm Thursday 7th May
The Greenway centre, Trent Lane, Sneinton.
Cities should be a solution not a problem for human beings. The city of Curitiba has demonstrated for the past 40 years how to transform problems into cost-effective solutions that can be applied in most cities around the world.
A Convenient Truth: Urban Solutions from Curitiba, Brazil is an informative, inspirational documentary aimed at sharing ideas to provoke environment-friendly and cost-effective changes in cities worldwide. The documentary focuses on innovations in transportation, recycling, social benefits including affordable housing, seasonal parks, and the processes that transformed Curitiba into one of the most livable cities in the world.
The film includes interviews from world renowned Curitiba's mayors Jaime Lerner and Cassio Tanigushi, as well as other brilliant minds who made Curitiba a world class model.
Followed by an open space discussion about how the Transition Towns initiatives can be applied here in inner city Nottingham. Please bring any questions, suggestions and ideas you may have.
Everyone welcome, free tea and cake provided.
