Idea City: How to Make Boston More Livable, Equitable, and Resilient

Alumni were invited to join a discussion between David Gamble MAUD ’97, Anne-Marie Lubenau LF ’12, and Matthew Kiefer LF ’96, all contributors to the recently published Idea City: How to Make Boston More Livable, Equitable, and Resilient.

The book addresses a range of the challenges that Boston contends with in the twenty-first century and considers ways to improve the city for everyone. Many of the issues tackled, including resiliency, mobility, affordable housing, public health, social equity, and economic equality, are of ever-increasing relevance for cities around the world. The conversation, taking Boston as a case study, will provide food for thought for dedicated urbanists, whether involved in public policy and the design and planning of our cities, or simply involved and concerned urban citizens.

The conversation was followed by a Q&A and a reception with light refreshments. Books were available for sale and signing at the event.
