Webinar: Designing the Megaregion and Healing the Divided City

Tuesday, 7 April 2020 - 1:00pm

Cities are growing into megaregions. As these megaregions grow, we are at a pivotal moment where we can choose to create more meaningful, better connected designs. These designs should be informed by GIS data mapping of sensitive environmental areas. Layered upon that should be investments into high speed rail and affordable housing. Zoning, both up-zoning and an examination of historic exclusionary zoning, must also be factored in. Throughout all this, equity needs to be the defining narrative to ensure that all people benefit, and no one is left behind.

During this webinar you’ll hear from two urban planning experts who will explore these topics. Jonathan Barnett, author of Designing the Megaregion: Meeting Urban Challenges at a New Scale and Alan Mallach, author of The Divided City: Poverty and Prosperity in Urban America both present during this webinar.  

We recognize that many are teleworking through this period, so join us for this live and timely event.
