This fall, the Department of City and Regional Planning is offering two lecture series – a Colloquium that showcases various professionals, students, and scholars focusing on different planning practice topics, and a Research Seminar that delves into research work, comprising of guest lecturers from various universities.
The fall programming comprises lectures that include practical and scholarly work on issues of equity, both historical and contemporary observations, and responses to global crises assumed by the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing climate change challenges.
While the University is operating as hybrid-learning, these lectures will take place online, open to the general public. All lectures will be recorded and be made available afterward.
For more information about the lecture series, please contact the Department of City and Regional Planning, crpinfo [at] Cornell [dot] edu.
For technical and access issues, please contact Alvieno Stinson (M.R.P. ’22), ajs722 [at] Cornell [dot] edu.
