Cities across America are using design to create culturally inclusive spaces that mend rifts and honor legacies. 

In the second of DDI’s three-part speaker series, Zena Howard, FAIA, Principal and Managing Director at Perkins+Will, will share projects of various scales that are helping to remember lost history and restore cultural connections. These places become catalysts for urban rebirth that lends character, authenticity and cultural identity to new development. The ultimate goal is increased inclusivity and more holistic, effective approaches to rethinking urban assets and opportunities.
