Short Title: Made-in-Alberta - ICLEI Look Back

Full Title and Description:
MIA (Ch.15) New Urbanism (Ep.7) ICLEI Look Back (4 min)

Many people get discouraged by what seems to be a lack of real action on climate change at the international level. A sure cure for the eco-blues is to visit with the municipal workers making great progress in cities and towns around the world.

About Chapter 15: “New Urbanism”
Alberta’s cities are booming, thanks to our strong economy, but wasteful, sprawling growth is not good human habitat. Some Albertans are planning or redesigning sustainable communities. How are they doing this, and what are the results so far?

About Made-in-Alberta (MIA) Series
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, 96 percent of Albertans now want new energy solutions. Since 2004, Barb Allard and her Made-in-Alberta team have been finding these solutions and bringing them to community television and the world-wide-web.
