For the series, I collaborated with several ecologists to develop an education program centered on urban ecosystems. The participants were mostly artists in Portland for the Open Engagement conference. I encouraged anyone who was interested to attend, including people who joined us as we walked. I also invited tourgoers to share their own knowledge, experiences, and stories related to the tour themes: birds, gardens, trees, invasive species. Using these starting points the project shed new light on the urban ecological landscape inviting participants to refine their sense of place.

Urban Verbs changed my life. If it weren't for this band, there may not have been a 9:30 club (where All Songs Considered webcasts many of its live concerts) and I surely wouldn't have made it to NPR. So, it seems fitting to include the Urban Verbs reunion performance in our concert series.
Urban Verbs were a band in my hometown of Washington, D.C. in the late 1970s. I saw their first performance at a restaurant called The Atlantis. That restaurant would eventually become the now-famous 9:30 Club (The Atlantis switched to being a music club after Urban Verbs convinced them to host the band's first live show). I saw just about every concert Urban Verbs played in D.C. or nearby cities; they were that good. But let me put it in perspective.
Back in 1978, except for the occasional progressive rock group, most bands playing the D.C. bars and clubs were fairly straight rock and roll bands. Many were blues-based. Urban Verbs stood out because they were an art band, but they were an art band that rocked. Their music wasn't overly angular or too abstract. Robert Goldstein's guitar, wildly affected through a looping device called an echoplex, and Robin Rose's Arp Odyssey gave an ethereal texture to their sound. The wash they created was hypnotic, sometimes psychedelic and always original.
Written and produced by Dan Protess, Urban Nature is the first digital series from WTTW to win an award of any kind. In the first season, Kronforst explored overlooked urban ecosystems and wildlife over 16 episodes, including everything from birds, butterflies and coyotes in Chicago to sea lions in San Francisco and a deserted island hospital just a mile from Manhattan.
In April 2013, Premiere Networks (a subsidiary of then Clear Channel Communications, now iHeartMedia) launched a weekend version of the show, Weekends with the Breakfast Club, as a Top 20 Countdown of urban contemporary hits. Four months later, The Breakfast Club, as a weekday offering, was rolled out into syndication.[3]
When I was in high school if a guy said you were wifey that meant the relationship was serious (just young and dumb). In this classic urban tale, we get to see what happens when a wifey of a well-known drug dealer has to make a decision to play her part and stand by her man or choose herself.
Durango, CO: The City of Durango Community Development is pleased to present the movie series Building Community: Exploring City Planning and Architecture Through Film. Join us for a viewing of the important documentary film by William H. Whyte, Social Life of Small Urban Spaces, on October 12, 2023 at The Powerhouse. Doors open at 5:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Each film in the series will be accompanied by a discussion led by urban design and architecture experts, who will delve into the real-life inspirations and discuss how urban design and architecture can influence and define communities. The series will be an opportunity for urban design and architecture enthusiasts to learn more about design practices relevant to Durango and engage in stimulating discussions.

Urban agriculture is growing in the farm to school movement! This new toolkit from the USDA is an electronic document that helps urban and small farms navigate more than 70 helpful resources, including technical assistance and financing opportunities. It focuses on some of the most pressing challenges confronting urban producers such as land access, soil quality, water resources, capital and financing, infrastructure, market development, production strategies, and applying for federal, state or private foundation grants. Click here to access the toolkit.
On Aug. 26, Sept. 30, Oct. 28 and Nov. 25, the series will have performances in the alley from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. This new series will overlap with and continue regular live music performances that have been occurring in the alley since early June.
As with the first concert series this summer, Sound System DJ Series will offer drinks via the nearby food hall Crossroads Collective, which will have an outdoor bar serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and light snacks.
Historical Studies of Urban America focuses on North American cities and metropolitan areas as centers of historical change. Series titles are concerned with cities as places that influence spatial relations, politics, economic development, social processes, and cultural transformations - and are in turn shaped by these forces. The series editors seek innovative, comparative, broad-gauged, and ambitious studies that will appeal to historians, urbanists in other disciplines, and educated lay readers.
Offering an interdisciplinary perspective on urban studies, students follow a core trajectory of shared courses and have the freedom to specialize by individually selecting from a large offer of elective courses.
Who are cities for? Who has the right to shape their production and access the resources of urban societies? And what are the consequences of urban policies for marginalized, vulnerable, and disenfranchised communities?
Since January 2011, we have been brewing high-quality Lagers & Ales in St. Louis, MO, and for the past five years, in Wolnzach, Germany, too. Staying true to our European heritage and thirst for innovation, we wanted to emulate a traditional Fußball/soccer club crest with a design that represents the foundational character of Urban Chestnut Brewing Company:
Red-Orange and Blue are the colors we use to distinguish our Reverence & Revolution beer series. The Reverence series (Blue) represents our classic, European beer styles. The Revolution series (Red-Orange) represents our modern, American beer styles.

Since 2002, artist Mohamed Bourouissa (b. 1978, Algeria; lives and works in Paris) has been developing a photography practice, drawing, and creating video rooted in social reality. Working primarily with representations of a contemporary urban environment, he is interested in the stereotypes associated with geographic and social spaces.
Made especially for this exhibition, The Ride is part of The Hood, a series of monumental sculptures created by Bourouissa beginning in 2014. In conjuring connections between the car and the horse, these assemblages might suggest the link between social and geographic marginalization. Made of European car parts printed with photographs of people from Fletcher Street, they mix different cultural universes.

Urban 4-H is a very special segment of the total 4-H history. While itis fully integrated into the entire 4-H program, its purpose, itsdevelopment, and how Extension "went about" urban 4-H was unique, notunlike the pattern of development for the era of national 4-H televisionseries, molding the element of science into every program area, or perhapseven the creation of the National 4-H Youth Conference Center. To manypeople it was something new... something different.
