Description

Heather Rosenberg has an ecology background and has made a career of systems thinking applied to climate change; she currently leads Arup’s resilience discipline in the Americas. “To me, the most fascinating aspects of this work is the fitting together of the economic, social, and environmental systems.” We talked about how she got into the green buildings industry and started exploring questions (with Joel Todd and others) about how buildings and communities can help people thrive. If we are serious about the triple bottom line, she says, we have a lot to do on the equity front: “It’s not just bringing people to our table, it’s also showing up at their tables, too.”
