ACT! Keynote Lectures: Three Cities

Saturday, April 16, 9:30 am – 2:00pm | GSD  Piper Auditorium

ACT! Keynotes present three examples of urban change-making that 

integrates design practice, policy development, and public narratives. Each 

case study reflects a different professional vantage point: the politician, the 

designer-activist, and the designer-mediator. Each addresses the unique 

challenges of their city. What they have in common are the cross-disciplinary, 

multistakeholder processes that they set up, where co-production of knowledge 

is a fundamental element of the design practice.
