Fixing The Future @ LimeWharf

John Elkington · 22 September 2015 · Leave a Comment

Fascinating evening with Thomas Ermacora and the Recode the City Symposium at LimeWharf, alongside Regent’s Canal. After an intriguing telecon with an interesting part of the Government and a Social Stock Exchange Board meeting in Michelin House, I arrived minutes before I was due to go on stage, with Thomas and Professor Daniel Charny, of From Now On, Fixperts, and the Maker Library Network.

A strong sense of overlapping universes as we discuss the Maker, Biomimicry, City and Sustainability worlds, among others. Good material for my upcoming city-focused keynotes at Bristol City Leadership Summit and baseEUcities.

It was particularly intriguing to catch the end of an online interview with Jonathan Knowles of Autodesk and to meet people like Tomas Diez of FabLab Barcelona. Evening also saw the pre-launch of Recoded City: Co-Creating Urban Futures, a book by Thomas Ermacora and Lucy Bullivant.

I came away with an even greater appetite to explore the intersections across this emerging multiverse of ours. For more info, follow Thomas Ermacora on Twitter at: @termacora.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
