Calgary is at the edge of a massive transformation with a myriad of complex challenges, and researchers are using the downtown and the inner-city as testing ground. You’ll hear about participatory approaches to planning the built environment (Dr. Fabian Neuhaus), innovative landscape approaches to urban renewal processes (Dr. Enrica Dall’Ara), and data-rich urban design that has the potential to revitalize downtowns by transforming underutilized spatial assets into a new, vibrant city (Professor Alberto de Salvatierra). Engage with these profs about industry-changing research that tackles complex social and urban issues — to further inspire community-driven solutions for a more resilient, socially-innovative city. Taking place at the City Building Design Lab, this is a chance for alumni to celebrate, reconnect and toast SAPL’s 50th anniversary.
