America’s cities face pressing challenges: aging infrastructure, housing crises, car-dependent sprawl, inequities in public spaces, and outdated zoning laws that often hinder progress. How can urban planning and design address these issues? If you were to build a city from scratch, what would it look like?
We'll hear your opinions on what can be done to improve cities. Potential solutions could include modernizing zoning laws, improving transit, congestion pricing, or more radical changes. All opinions are welcome!
Together, we’ll reimagine what a city built for the 21st century could achieve—one that prioritizes sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience.
