A happy hour conversation with Vivek Shandas, PSU Professor, Chair of Portland’s Urban Forestry Commission

Vivek Shandas knows how cities shape the environment; and, in turn, how that environment shapes cities--and the people who live there. Historically in America-and specifically in Portland-where the trees are, tells you a lot: wealthy neighborhoods have many big, old leafy trees; economically disinvested neighborhoods, not so much.

In the latest of Portland Parks Foundation’s “Green Dreams” conversations, Shandas will offer his bold thinking of how “radical love” between the city and nature can change this dichotomy.
