I am looking forward
to participating in a conference that looks forward to our urban future,
but focuses on present initiatives for improving urban experiences. To
create sustainable, dynamic urban spaces we must respect the past, analyze
the present, and anticipate the future. Now is an exciting time to solve
urban problems for the improvement of tomorrow’s cities. |
