Questions for Jayne?!

Just trying to keep up with her great content!

Totally!

Will a recording be available?

When I explain to City Councillors about thinking in 7 generations - eg. the development across the street just being built - will not even exist some 200 years from now. I get blank looks. How do we resolve the 'next election cycle' laser focus of most city councillors, and urban planners?

Jayne Engle is amazing! I want to watch the recording to try and absorb her framing of the issues.

A recording will be available

Yes. Via citiesattufts.com and shareable.net

can Jayne speak to effective ways of accessing resident visions and knowledge? In a way that is not a simple one-shot conversation but is deep and authentic

Wonderful ideas, Jayne! My question: isn’t there a contradiction between the deep-time of 7 generations and the “quick fix” mentality of 15-min or 1-min city concepts? How can that kind of speed acknowledge the sacred? And more specifically: aren’t they just design concepts that ignore collective ownership, decolonize sovereignties, and reparative justice?

A video of this presentation will be available at https://www.citiesattufts.com and the audio will be available on https://www.Shareable.net and wherever you get your podcasts by searching for “Cities@Tufts Lectures”.

It feels to me that the issue is not a lack of ideas or passion, but fundamentally the financial system/incentives that are overly short term and are not linked to the right outcomes. How does this financial system change happen when currently governments are looking to promote and support the status quo (through for example long term zero interest rates)?

Last week’s presentation, “From green privilege to green gentrification: Environmental Justice vs White Supremacy in the 21st century American and European city” with Isabelle Anguelovski is available here: https://www.shareable.net/from-green-privilege-to-green-gentrification/

Great questions. Keep them coming!

Could Jayne speak to what she did in Oakland, PA . We are writing from Pittsburgh and would love to know more

A further question: Does 15 min/1 min city not have a danger of building in inequality between wealthy and more deprived communities? Furthermore isn't the wonder of the city the very things that any one neighbourhood can support - for example world class theatres, or art galleries etc.? Albeit I agree that most cities have become overly centralised.

Thank you for this presentation and discussion! Yes, my question is: how is 'adding nature to the balance sheet' a way of changing the current way of city making? Is it the first step because we recognize nature into the current city making process by making nature "a balance sheet item"?

Can third world countries think about 7th Generations cities when we know a lot of then aren’t even on the 1st ? How can something like that be possible?

Close is beautiful!

Thanks for so much to reflect and act upon! What is your view on tracing ‘boundaries’ of cities? Does the busting of the assumption of “sovereignty” connect with re-thinking cities in terms of (bio)regions?

Last week we heard about how green cities are vulnerable to gentrification. Is that a vulnerability to sacred cities as well? If no, how not?

need to sign off but look forward to viewing remainder and reviewing. thank you for your work and inspiration, Jayne!

Thank you Jayne,

sorry I was late, on another webinar, and just joined to be sure - I hope - of receiving the link to the recording :)

Thank you very much Jayne, very inspiring...

Thank you so much! Head spinning with the inspiring content

COVID has put us in slingshot mode. We've gone backwards quickly but that tension may allow us to slingshot way forward.

So if we see city boundaries more as overlapping areas. Rural area farmers may feel more connected and less discarded. This would also allow better resource knowledge and communication from community to community rather than market competition that is seen frequently here in the US.

How can we counter western science and western culture's rejection of other ways of knowing, and its relegating of the notion of "sacred" (as you defined it) outside of mainstream decision making--it is important risk taking to use the word sacred in some contexts. Thank you for your work.

Can you share the visual presentation together with the video recording?

Yes! A video of this presentation will be available at https://www.citiesattufts.com and the audio will be available on https://www.Shareable.net and wherever you get your podcasts by searching for “Cities@Tufts Lectures”.
