Event Description

About the Inspire Speakers Series 
Green Building Alliance has welcomed more than 100 national and local speakers to the Inspire Speakers Series stage since 2012. This beloved series has shared the perspectives of artists, activists, economists, academics, urban farmers, designers, teachers, authors, soldiers, students, and many more in an intimate setting aimed at creating lasting change through pure inspiration. 

About this Event 

In today's era, cities and communities are changing whether we are ready for it or not. One place where that notion is especially evident is Atlanta, Georgia, which predicts incredible population growth in the coming years. Author, urban designer, and civic entrepreneur Ryan Gravel will explain how his city – Atlanta – is shifting the narrative of change through intentional investment. 

Gravel will be joined on stage by Pittsburgh’s own Tiffany Taulton, who oversees community initiatives at the Hazelwood Initiative and combines her worldly experiences with a deep dedication to Pittsburgh to dedicate her life to helping vulnerable communities prepare for climate change. 

This first Inspire Speakers Series session of 2023 will explore these questions and more: 

  • How do we reclaim infrastructure for a new generation of cities? 
  • How can we turn barriers into opportunities for diverse, inclusive, and equitable connections? 
  • How do we build a cultural shift in our expectations for our physical environment? 
  • How do we ensure that communities own their future?
