Housing, Transportation & The Environment   Print 

Wed, March 10 2010, 8:30am - 12:00pm

 

The Partnership for Strong Communies has joined hands with DECD and the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority to produce a 2010 Lyceum Forum Series focused on practical solutions-making affordable housing as a vital ingredient in the solution of major public policy problems.

The second in the series, Housing, Transportation & The Environment: The Convergence of Transit, Green Building & Brownfield Remediation will take place at The Lyceum 227 Lawrence St. Hartford.  This event will look at Housing that is affordable, denser, well-designed, appropriately-sized and close to transit can solve a myriad of problems at once: energy and transportation costs are lower; homes become more affordable; people can walk or take public transit to work, shopping or other needs; people drive less and pollute less; Connecticut contributes less to climate change; development pressure upon natural lands and farms is reduced.
