Description
The Covid-19 pandemic has spotlighted the necessity of parks and open space, but also magnified issues that have long existed including; lack of equity, poverty, deficiency of parks in quantity and quality, shortage of recreation programs, poor sidewalks, unsustainable mobility, and unsafe streets. Gil Penalosa, founder and chair of 880 Cities, sees this current moment as one of great opportunity for cities to become more equitable and sustainable. Penalosa will share examples of how cities around the world have responded to the pandemic and build the case for why leaders must act now and make difficult changes to create, plan, and manage cities radically different.
