The Institute for Urban Research at the University of Pennsylvania and the Media and Policy Center Foundation along with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society are sponsoring a Symposium on Urban Environmental Issues in Philadelphia.

Inspired by the PBS film series Edens Lost & Found, the gathering will feature Wangari Maathai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her contributions to sustainable development, democracy and peace.

The symposium will be held on the University of Pennsylvania campus at Houston Hall and Irvine Auditorium.
