About this event
A Heart-centered Approach for Our Urban Future
Join the Community Design Center Rochester for our next PLACEMAKING 101 webinar!
What is the city of the future in the face of a global pandemic and looming climate crisis? Can we co-create a vision for an ideal urban habitat? What role should womxn and BIPOC individuals play in crafting the equitable city? This talk will bring an anthropological and feminist lens to the discussion on the future city and advocates for one that is heart-centered, anti-racist, and revives a way of looking at our cities as habitats and ecosystems, rather than products or economic engines.
