In this closing plenary, we will reflect the state of the placemaking movement today. Our first conversation brings together an interdisciplinary group of national leaders to explore the big challenges facing our communities today and what it will take for placemaking to rise to the moment.
In our second conversation, we take a deep dive into waterfronts. With Baltimore's waterfront at a pivotal moment of change, we will hear from four innovative placemakers on how they are balancing competing interests on the waterfront and ensuring everyone can access the benefits of these vital natural and social resources.
