Rising Urbanists: Reframing the Urban Forest Conference

Please join the CCNY American Society of Landscape Architects Student Chapter on Saturday, March 30, for the third annual interdisciplinary Rising Urbanists Conference at the Spitzer School of Architecture. This day-long event will bring students, academics, and professionals together to (re)imagine the potential for urban forestry to address social and environmental justice issues within our cities. This conference is a groundbreaking forum for the next generation of urban thinkers to organize around long-term green infrastructure strategies rather than disciplinary hierarchies. An expansive approach to the urban forest could drive urban design by engaging and building from intersecting interests throughout our urban environment. Lunch, coffee, and snacks provided.
