Limited Capacity seats available
1 Hour Panel:

The global city can be boring if we don’t cherish our planet’s diverse urban cultures and design heritage. Since urban design includes yet extends beyond preservation, how are today's urban innovators rethinking globalism by instead celebrating and incorporating local culture and the genus loci into city design solutions? All conference delegates from around the world are encouraged to participate in a lively show-and- tell of their cities’ unique and authentic urban planning innovations and traditions.
