As the city confronts new housing and economic opportunities for the neighborhoods adjacent to the highway, experts and audience members will consider questions about public policy and mixed income communities, re-renewal, the relationship between public space and private development, and how good design contributes to the success of neighborhoods and residents.

Forum participants include Lanessa Chaplin, Esq., assistant director for the New York Civil Liberties Union; Lizabeth Cohen, Howard Mumford Jones professor of American studies in the Department of History at Harvard University; Lawrence Vale, associate dean and Ford professor of urban design and planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and John Washington, organizer and political educator at People’s Action. Kishi Ducre, associate dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion and associate professor in the Department of African American Studies at 鶹ƵUniversity will moderate the discussion.
