Centered Design 
Simply put, Dan helps communities find their hearts and promote walkable 
communities. Dan Burden, founder of Walkable Communities ... Burden is 
part of the suddenly arrived profession that promotes new kinds of 
communities. ... Does a city become more lovable as it becomes more 
livable? Can we find a balance between cars and people? What about the 
even trickier balance between land and cars and people? Can developers and 
local officials move from blueprints to "greenprints" ? ... Beer and

Youth Enviro meeting, Franklin Park Golf Clubhouse
The Franklin Park Coalition is strengthening and building our youth 
programs through a new partnership with SCA – the Student Conservation 
Association. Based in New Hampshire , SCA is a 50 year old organization 
that has involved high school and college age youth in outdoor work and 
service in national parks and forests, and more recently in urban 
greenspaces. SCA wants to establish a strong presence in Boston , 
beginning this summer. They are supporting three teams of ten young people 
each in Franklin Park. They are a partnership organization whose 
orientation is to work with existing community efforts. SCA would like to 
meet with others in Boston who are like-minded about providing 
conservation service opportunities to city youth. Please join us to learn 
more about SCA and partnership opportunities. Please see 
www.franklinparkcoalition.org or call 617-282-2881 for more information.
