Comparisons to other innovative cities along these lines are natural and create a set of kindred cities, from whom we may have been "separated at birth," but with whom we share certain attributes. What lessons can we learn from a bit of advice from some of these places? How have they dealt with maintaining a strong sense of community in the face of intense pressure for change? Have they experienced a loss of diversity, in all its meanings? Has their strong community identity been a good thing or a burden? Have choices for divergent lifestyles increased or diminished? Are their communities becoming more sustainable? And what does that mean, and what changes might be required? Moderated by Patty Limerick, panelists from "kindred communities" will share their stories and help us all reflect and where Boulder might be headed in the coming years.

Their work is motivated no just by the utility and importance of fluid flows, but also by their inherent beauty. The pleasures of flow visualization are not restricted to laboratories; anybody who has paid attention to the patterns while stirring milk into coffee or stared at the curl of a rising tendril of smoke has participated in flow visualization.
