| Influential urban thinker, Enrique Peñalosa, delivers to a May 2012 crowd at the Gerding Theatre in Portland, OR. |
Here is a video from a project I worked on over this past spring, as the Co-Chair of the PSU Urban Planning Club, to bring Enrique Peñalosa to Portland for a lecture. He's known as the former Mayor of Bogotá and an influential urban thinker. He appears in the film Urbanized, which ranked #2 in my top ten list of urban documentaries.
He did two events while in Portland. One at Metro regional government and another for the public at Portland Center Stage. They went over really well. I didn't want to blog about it right after because I already posted a video with him in the last post and I wanted some space in between. I just thought you all might be interested in the video.
Here is the video:
Some things I learned from Enrique while spending three days with him:
1. Stop and smell the flowers
2. Dream big and keep the vision
3. Get involved in politics and network
4. Write
5. Don't be afraid to push for what you truly believe in.
