The New Metropolis

Do cities have a future?

Presented by UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism; College of Environmental Design; The Program on Housing and Urban Policy and BRIDGE Housing Corporation

 
A discussion with Washington Post writer and author Joel Garreau, San Francisco Chronicle urban design writer John King, and Bay Area developer Rick Holliday. Moderated by UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Terner Teaching Fellow Bradley Inman

US cities are bubbling up, taking new shapes and making new sounds. Some downtowns are becoming tourist destinations, sparkling like never before. Others are as dead as Babylon. Some places that until recently were bedroom communities are now job-packed, high-property-value visions of an ethnically integrated, high-technology future. Others are a darkly punk hallucination featuring gangs, gridlock and drugs. How does this new weave of urban events fit together?

Faculty, professionals, students, and community members are invited to attend.
