How Urban Communities are Becoming more Resilient, with Haym Gross

Haym Gross is an architect specializing in sustainability and a pioneer in developing community infrastructure to achieve environmental resilience. He is a founding member of the NYC 2030 District, a public-private partnership of stakeholders working to radically reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption on an urban scale. This initiative is part of a larger network of 26 similar districts across North America (2030districts.org). Haym takes us on his journey—beginning as a sculptor working with organic forms, then designing spaces that mimic nature, and now collaborating with communities to help neighborhoods, cities, and urban environments adapt to a changing climate. He is both an expert and an experimenter, a visionary and a pragmatist. Join us for the second episode of the Good Standing podcast and discover how you can start applying these principles in your own community.
