DESCRIPTION:The transition from today's fossil-fuel determined reality to a
 n urban future based on renewable power requires new thinking and decision-
 making. Yet most cities and urban communities are still planned and managed
  as if present crises did not exist: mounting costs of rapid climate change
  and inevitable decline of oil\, natural gas and uranium reserves. This lec
 ture will outline the global-scale of the urban transformation necessary fo
 r cities and towns to be entirely powered by renewable energy.
