Tonight's Guest: Jana Carp (part 2)

Our New Year's show celebrates the holidays with the delightful scholar Jana Carp, who makes you want to learn more about resilience theory and gives a credible argument for believing in projects that come from the heart.

Jana divides her time between documenting the development of Cittaslow (Slow Cities) in the U.S.and using resilience theory - which concerns how we live in complex adaptive social-ecological systems. She describes a wonderful cluster of projects in the Sonoma Valley where slow initiatives enabled people to re-establish meaningful connections with each other and the places the live, effectively offering a kind of template for resilience. Jana teaches at St Mary's College of California and specializes in planning, sustainable development, and urban theory.
