Vishaan Chakrabarti, FAIA
Join us in welcoming Vishan Chakrabarti, FAIA, as he discusses "the Architecture of the Cosmopolis". The urbanist world has largely formed a consensus around the idea that transit-oriented urban growth leads to positive social, economic, and environmental outcomes due to the diversity, innovation, and ecology that dense walkable development is argued to bring. Cracks have begun to emerge in this consensus, however, as communities question the gentrification impacts of new growth.
