Lunchtime Panel Discussion
The Public Realm: The Re-emerging City Building Framework
Date: Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 12:00-1:00 P.M.
Location: NewSchool of Architecture and Design, 1249 "F" Street, San Diego, CA 92101
Lunch Included: $5.00 in advance, $7.00 at door
RSVP: by email or call 619.544.9255
The public realm is once again being understood as a critical element in making cities work for the health and well-being of their citizens. Public health professionals have joined with design professionals in recognizing that quality urban design, and a well designed public realm, are key to the health and wellness of the community. Local author Richard Louv has given the lack of connection to nature and the public realm a name: "Nature Deficit Disorder.”At the same time we are renewing our understanding of the importance of nature in the public realm, we are experiencing the lack of resources for improving and maintaining public spaces. This panel discussion will address where San Diego is, where we might go, and lessons learned from other places.
