Attending SHIFT: urban planning conference Source: Wikipedia.org Majora Carter (shown in picture with her dog Xena) is someone who KNOWS her shit!! What's more is that Carter combines traits that I respect/covet: Compassion, innovation, intelligence, and the drive to act on ideas. Keynote speaker at the opening of the conference (also the Dalhousie Carmichael Lectures), Carter was a breath of fresh air and and inspiring one!! Her positivism is absolutely infectious. Hope you're all having a groovy weekend, TartanFrog About Majora Carter "Majora Carter is a visionary voice in city planning who views urban renewal through an environmental lens. The South Bronx native draws a direct connection between ecological, economic and social degradation. Hence her motto: "Green the ghetto!"
