Fellow Story
Orenstein on interactions between green spaces and humans
Not long ago, a visitor came from Israel to Milwaukee to share his perspective on that country’s environmental movement. Daniel Orenstein is a Senior lecturer, in the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion Israel Institute of Technology. Orenstein met WUWM Environmental reporter Susan Bence next to one of Milwaukee’s “greening spaces” – the Milwaukee River, and explained his philosophy. He believes environmental solutions can be attained by understanding that human social systems are linked to ecological systems.
He has just put the finished touches on a book titled “Between Ruin and Restoration” which Orenstein hopes people will see on bookstore shelves in the coming months.
