Public Forums

As part of its mission to promote a dialog about the relationship between the ‘designed’ urban environment and the vitality and diversity of the city’s cultural, economic, and political life, the City Design Center sponsors or co-sponsors conferences, symposia, lectures, and exhibitions. The audiences for these design communication occasions include academics, professionals, public officials, and the interested general public.
