The lecture is presented by DHBC in partnership with the Dalhousie University School of Planning. The Carmichael Lecture is FREE and open to the public on a first-come, first served basis. 

“We’ve wanted to have Ken as a Carmichael lecturer for a long time. He has an intimate knowledge of Halifax, having worked on projects here and visited many times,” says Paul MacKinnon, Executive Director of DHBC. “He is also one of our country’s foremost experts on the fundamental changes that are occurring in cities around the world. We are indeed fortunate to have Ken come back and share his experiences with us.”

About the Dalhousie School of Planning Conference, Shift Resilience:

Resilient communities adapt to the challenges of climate change, energy crises, aging population and unforeseen problems. In the face of an uncertain future, how can Nova Scotia plan and design for all seasons and cycles? Are we doing all we can to prioritize health and happiness? How will the Halifax Regional Municipality adapt to these challenges and build a better future? On March 6-8, graduate students at Dalhousie University's School of Planning present SHIFT 2014, a free, annual conference.
