The one on net zero cities recounts how the oil supply disruptions of the 1970s awakened the world to the need for renewable energy. Hawken calls for a “regenerative city” and unpacks that term using examples in seven mini chapters. Not surprisingly, his new book reaffirms that Ecocity Builders is in the right line of work as seen in our mission statement: Reshaping cities for the long-term health of human and natural systems. Some of you may recall that Hawken was a keynote speaker at Ecocity World Summit 2019 in Vancouver, British Columbia. “What becomes of civilization in this century will be determined by what happens in urban and suburban environments.” That statement appears in the Paul Hawken’s 2021 book, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation.
