A Symposium on Urban Design and Big-City Planning

Big cities create big opportunities for innovation in design and planning that transforms daily life and shapes the future. Their complexity and scale also create unique challenges for integrating design and planning, both in terms of processes and outcomes.

Join us for a discussion of the opportunities and challenges of big city design and planning with a panel of internationally renowned urbanists, including design professionals who have served as planning directors or in design leadership positions in major North American cities including Vancouver, San Francisco, Portland, Berkeley, Washington, Oakland, New Orleans, Birmingham, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Denver, and Milwaukee.
