Reshaping Rochester is back!
Redevelopment Expert Ellen Dunham-Jones returns to Rochester! Join us for this year's kick-off lecture as she discusses how today’s aging, parking-dominated properties provide the opportunity to address urgent challenges that suburbia was never designed for: reducing car dependency, improving public health, supporting an aging society, leveraging social capital for equity, competing for jobs, and adding water and energy resilience.
