We have to transform our cities!

Over 50% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and it’s only increasing. Models for sustainable, equitable, urban community must be developed.

In this episode of Planet Community we look at Enright Ridge Urban Ecovillage in Cincinnati, OH.

How do we move past the consumerism and concrete to reconnect to each other and the earth? How do we live sustainably and live well in cities? Enright Ridge Urban Ecovillage is an ongoing exploration into these crucial questions.

Learn more about Planet Community here, see additional episodes, and support the creation of more episodes!
