Phinney Ridge resident A-P Hurd will discuss her new book,“The Carbon Efficient City,” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, at the Central Library downtown. Admission is free.
Hurd co-wrote the book with her father, Al Hurd. A-P Hurd is a real estate developer and a professor at the University of Washington’s College of Built Environments.
“The Carbon Efficient City” features Hurd’s vision of a path through neighborhoods, new and upgraded buildings, bicycle networks and transit systems that might produce carbon efficient cities. The book describes an economic and regulatory environment in which the DNA of sustainable buildings and cities can be successfully expressed.
I heard her speak at the Cascadia event. This description sounds a bit dry for someone who is a very energetic and engaging speaker! I strongly recommend seeing her speak, you are bound to walk away with new information and possibly a new outlook on what changes need to be made.
