Description
Equal parts conference, workshop, artistic intervention, celebration, this free public event assembles neighbours, urbanists, designers, researchers, city-builders, and artists alike to consider how we can challenge traditional understandings of city streets and create a more inclusive, equitable, and joyful public realm.
Panels, discussions, and workshops will feature a local and international line-up of guests including Chicago’s Department of Transportation Commissioner Gia Biagi and “Hip Hop Architect” Michael Ford.
