More details

Cities only cover two percent of the earth's surface, but they
are home to 85 percent of the population. And in America, our cities
need work. With its long history of prejudiced policies, our housing
system is both a symptom and a cause of persistent racial disparities.
And residential buildings in the U.S. account for 20 percent of
greenhouse gas emissions, making housing one of the key drivers of
climate change. During this Park Bench Chat, Regas, Ogbu and Bourland
will discuss how thoughtful, collaborative design can lay a foundation
for a more just and equitable future. They'll also discuss a new
model for cities that prioritizes climate resilience, health, and
access to quality parks and green space. And they'll share
tactics for ensuring public spaces enable social connection and
cultural expression.

Space is limited
so we hope you'll register today!
