Discussion, Building 944, Rodeo Room

During the Open House, Alison Sant will lead a discussion with Planner Neil Hrushowy, Artist and Designer Marisha Farnsworth, and Scientist Robin Grossinger examining the role of tactical urbanism in creating resilient cities. Each of these professionals brings a unique perspective to the common question of how we cope with climate change.
