LERNER AT RIBA IN NOVEMBER


Jaime Lerner's 'urban revolution' successfully transformed a congested, grimy, crime-ridden city into a world-renowned model of green living and social innovation. His talk will focus on the role cities play in contemporary society, shown through case studies, enhancing the meaning of design both in structuring urban growth and in the development project of a city, a state, a country. He will also address the key issue of mobility – stressing the importance of public transportation and discuss how sustainability and identity are vital areas for intervention.
