This event asks, “What is a Decent City?” Gathering architects and social scientists, it will reflect on how cities should grow, become more inclusive, and be designed to lessen prospects of ugly things happening between urban communities. These themes appear inside the “Uneven Growth” exhibit, the motivation and frame of reference for this conversation.
