The Nutana Community Association and the Broadway Theatre are pleased to welcome Ken Greenberg, internationally acclaimed architect, urban designer, and bestselling author. Mr. Greenberg will present a talk entitled City Building: The Emergence of a New North American Dream. His presentation will engage the audience in his approach to city building, offering a new toolkit for optimizing the city from areas as small as a city block to as large as a city region. Combining thirty years of his own experience rejuvenating downtowns, waterfronts, neighbourhoods and university campuses with lessons from others like his friend and mentor Jane Jacobs, Mr. Greenberg's message is hopeful and practical and will leave the audience anticipating their own walk home through exceptional urbanism.
Joining Greenberg will be Alan Wallace, Saskatoon’s Manager of Planning and Development, talking about one of our city’s grandest city-building initiatives in at least 50 years, the Integrated Growth Plan. The IGP seeks to address issues of sustainable development, transportation, and quality of life for citizens of Saskatoon.
Following the speakers: Gerry Klein, Civic Affairs Columnist at The StarPhoenix, will engage the speakers and audience in discussion
