Conference | Cities and Citizenship Conference


A pervasive absence of decisive political action on climate change, despite a rich trove of knowledge about its potentially dangerous consequences since at least the 1970s, combined with the failure of successive global summits to reach adequate resolution affect us all. The Cities & Citizenship Conference will look at where design and environmentalism cross over to make an impact on these issues? Along with the scientific aspects of ecological design, they will explore the intersection between design and the social sciences by looking at the concept of “city” and “citizen” in parallel.

Park Walk | The High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.
