JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER
Author, Social Critic and Blogger

Wednesday, April 4, 7:30 PM
Moakley Center Auditorium

James Howard Kunstler is an American author, social critic and blogger who
is best known for his book, The Geography of Nowhere, a history of suburbia
and urban development in the United States. His most recent book, The Long
Emergency: Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-first
Century, explores the consequences of a world oil production peak,
coinciding with the forces of climate change, resurgent diseases, water
scarcity, global economic instability and warfare to cause chaos for future
generations.

Mr. Kunstler argues that as energy becomes scarce, transportation will
become difficult or impossible, causing food and other necessary commodities
to become unavailable in many communities. As a longtime critic of suburban
design, he advises communities to change to accommodate walking and
bicycling as primary modes of transport.

This event is sponsored by Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic
Development District, Island Foundation, BSC¹s Center for Sustainability and
Institute for Regional Development, and U.S.-Brazil Consortium on Urban
Development. Admission to this event is free.
