Urgency and ambitiousness have characterized the conversation about the serious and significant environmental challenges occurring internationally. Steffen (2006) demonstrated a remarkable breadth of public and private sector constituent groups contributing to the conversation along with possible responses. Architects, landscape architects, planners, engineers, financiers, policy makers, conservationists, government bureaucrats, artists, social workers, public sector folklorists, and educators, among many other constituent groups, have routinely engaged with environmental challenges, in theory and practice, through conferences, symposia, demonstration projects, interventions, publications, and inventions.
