Transforming Communities Through New Urbanism: Preparing for a Resilient Future
A Virtual Symposium
From floods to hurricanes, pandemics to wildfires, our communities are affected by all. What can we do in advance to protect our homes, families, and businesses, our communication streams, and the economic stability of our communities? What are the responsibilities of the government and each individual citizen? How we work together is vital to ensure that any setback is minor and easily recoverable. Notable speakers from around the country will explore the concepts, factors, challenges, and solutions in transforming communities in advance of a natural disaster to mitigate devastating results. In a global economy, our communities are more closely linked than ever.
All times are Central Time | All Individual sessions propose a 40-45 speaking time and 15-20 min Q&A. Times and speakers are subject to change.
Join us for an engaging virtual symposium.
