Upcoming Event: Rudy Bruner Debate on Urban Excellence - Earn CM credits!
/We are pleased to invite you to the first Rudy Bruner Debate on Urban Excellence (DUE) at the University at Buffalo.
Our focus is on place and placemaking because the future of cities is rooted in the environment we all make, negotiate, and refine every day. Place is the crucial yet elusive root to a more sustainable, durable, and urban future, but there are contested ideas about what place is and how we make it. These ideas are at the center of our debate series.
On Saturday, October 26, from 9 am to 5 pm EST, over a dozen internationally leading thinkers and practitioners will debate place and placemaking. In four thematic sessions, this forum will help us understand these concepts shaped by decades of careful thought, informing many fascinating futures. By exploring why place matters and how we can envision, co-create, and communicate better places, the debate helps urbanists propose an urban agenda for the rest of the 21st century.
The DUE, organized by the new Rudy Bruner Center for Urban Excellence at the University at Buffalo, is the inaugural Rudy Bruner Debate and is part of a biennial offering on critical urban topics in our three-book series.
Registration. You can join the debate in person at the University at Buffalo's Hayes Hall, room 403, or via an online live stream. Registration is free for students, $30 for non-students online, and $50 for non-students in person. The in-person event includes lunch.
Registrants can benefit from 7 AIA CE and 7 AICP/APA CM credits. The link to capture AICP credits is: https://www.planning.org/events/eventsingle/9293526/
