Online. Free. 1.5 LACES HSW

As part of the Conway School's 50th year-long anniversary celebration, they are hosting a panel discussion exploring equity, climate change, and urban planning.

So much of the work that happens in the fields of landscape design and planning is determined by the decision makers. Who are they? When those positions don’t represent the people and places being directly impacted, the result is environmental and social dissonance. Conway invites three leading voices in the fields of environmental justice and urban planning to share their thoughts on this topic.

Join Magdalena Ayed, Executive Director of The Harborkeepers; Bobby Boone, Founder and Chief Strategist of &Access; and Vernice Miller-Travis, Executive Vice President of Metropolitan Group for an online interactive panel moderated by Conway alum Beth Schermerhorn '13 and Asha Carter, both of the Cambium Collective. We’ll be exploring how people become decision-makers in communities, the barriers to accessing those positions, and the need for the shared understanding and communication that are essential to the design and planning processes.

This event is online, free and open to the public.

BSLA is pleased to provide 1.5 LACES HSW for this event.
