3:30-4:45 Session B: EcoBlock - Designing Ownership Models for Inclusion, Equity & Democracy
Neighborhood Sustainability involves (re)designing social structures for inclusion, democracy, equity for low income residents, ownership of commons, health, ecological stewardship, and social options. Legal models of ownership form the basis of neighborhood social structure but these are rarely re-examined for their detraction or contribution to social sustainability. Students in the Washington University's Sustainability Exchange have been evaluating various models of ownership and will propose a hybrid model to promoted the vitality and resiliency of a neighborhood EcoBlock.
