Program Overview
Public spaces and places are essential infrastructure that makes our cities livable. Besides providing space for essential transactions, our public spaces express our history, values and future vision. The best spaces bring us together to share culture and diverse backgrounds while celebrating our shared values. Design unleashes the potential for public space and architects can foster community and inspire progress. Design is our super power.
Presented by AIA Cincinnati VISION.
