The pandemic’s impact on cities has been enormous: people have fled crowded urban living for more space in the suburbs and rural areas. Key elements of city life - including public transportation and gatherings - remain fraught. With climate change destroying buildings in Florida and threatening the very foundation of Chicago, it’s clear that cities will need to evolve in order to survive in the future. Tune in as a panel of designers, scholars, and urban planners discuss creating urban spaces that are more equitable, pandemic-resistant, and able to cope with environmental changes.
This series is generously underwritten by Rebecca McDade, the R. Scott Family Fund, and Harpinder Ajmani, in honor of his late parents, Labh and Rajendra Ajmani.
