Bio: Storm Cunningham is author of The Restoration Economy, and is the Executive Director of the Revitalization Institute, the alliance for community renewal and natural resource restoration. The institute’s mission is “to advance restorative development of communities and natural resources worldwide.”

Cunningham was, from 1996 to 2002, the Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Construction Specifications Institute, an association of 18,000 architects, engineers, contractors and manufacturers that influences the standard for commercial construction in the U.S., Canada and other countries.

His presentation at Gaining Ground will profile the trillions of dollars of “restorable assets” in North America; the keys to revitalizing communities and regions; numerous innovative policy and planning-related issues; and restorative development’s relationship to sustainable development and smart growth. He will emphasize the power and potentials of integrated restoration projects and integrated revitalization programs.
