Join us for an evening of film and conversation, as we explore how these challenges might be linked to stories we tell ourselves about progress, growth, and success. And how GDP is a grossly flawed measure of human and planetary flourishing.

March 10, 11 a.m. ET<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Streets, plazas, and public spaces are where urban change becomes real—and where resistance often explodes. A tweet, a construction photo, or an angry neighbor can derail months of planning. That’s why strategic communication and brand positioning are not “nice to have” in urban projects; they are core infrastructure. Drawing on years of experience in Barcelona, Maite Peris has led communication and public engagement for major transformations: Superblocks, the first Low Emission Zone, school streets, new bike lanes, pedestrianization, and traffic-calming measures across the city. Through real examples - both successes and mistakes - Maite shows how a clear communication strategy can turn conflict into collaboration, reduce reputational risk, and build long-term support for public space and mobility projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0iAsHaTtSuq8AKHoC3n9Ew#/registration">https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0iAsHaTtSuq8AKHoC3n9Ew#/registration</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#C00000'>Is There Ethical AI Use in Climate Journalism?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Tues.
