Sustainability in Noisette, SC
Real Deal presentation -- 2/21/07 @ Noon -- MIT Student Center, Sala de Puerto Rico
http://www.noisettesc.com/over_whatisnoisette.html
What is Noisette? Noisette is a 3,000 acre city-within-a-city. It is an area of North Charleston, South Carolina targeted for integrated restoration as a sustainable community – modeled on the belief that cities must be equally responsive to social needs, environmental responsibility and economic vitality (the philosophy embodied by people, planet, prosperity). The Noisette community boundaries are roughly those that defined North Charleston when that community was incorporated in 1973. However, in the last 30 years, through annexation and “green-field” subdivision development, North Charleston has expanded into one of the state’s largest cities. Today, the Noisette area represents only a small corner of its parent city. To learn more about this project, come hear Harry Gordon, President of Burt Hill, talk about the creation of a sustainable city -- Noisette, SC -- on Wednesday, February 21, 2007 at noon in the MIT Student Center.
