At Home in the World: Building a Livable Seattle in the Era of Climate Change
The housing crisis is a climate crisis is a housing crisis.
No decision has a bigger impact on our carbon pollution than where we live: a lack of abundant and affordable housing pushes people out of the city, where their emissions are 2-4x as high (due to a lack of good transit, and larger dwellings). Seattle is already home to many climate migrants, and in coming decades, the Northwest is likely to be one of the most climate-stable regions; many more people will need to move here.
If we care about Seattle being a progressive, sustainable city, we need more housingcitywide, so our most vulnerable communities arent the only ones asked to support newcomers. How can we plan for density thats equitable, and that makes our neighborhoods more vibrant, greener, and better able to support small business and frequent transit?
Join us to hear some of the people most passionate about housing and equity, in conversation about our options.
Co-sponsored by Town Hall Seattle and supported by a City Neighborhood Fund matching grant.
