Description
The United States, and indeed the world, who soon experience a migration that will eclipse the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s. As urban designers, planners, architects, and city buildings, we have an opportunity to help shape that migration. Is it possible to leverage the migration to repopulate and revitalize legacy cities in the midwest? And if so, how can we do it in way that doesn’t displace existing residents but creates access to greater opportunities? How can welcoming cities leverage existing resources and human capital? What are the strategies for making government more open and agile? How can we help cities implement best practices to remain resilient? Join us an open space discussion on these (and more) questions. Bring your own ideas, questions, and solutions.
