SWEET Cityscapes: Mindful Urban Design for a Changing Climate
Tuesday, June 27, 2023

With a changing climate, a rising population, and a growing need for housing, transit, and public infrastructure, how can we shape the cities of tomorrow? How would you design your own city to meet such needs? Join us on June 27 and learn how urban design intersects with building climate resilient future.
All SWEET events are for teens. Admission is free, but registration is required.
