Restoring a City, 9 Elements At a Time

What makes New York City so different from Norwich? What makes Chicago so different Collinsville? What makes San Diego so different Vernon? (hint: it isn't the traffic)

8 days from now, the University of Orange will begin unraveling the answers.

               THIS?                 

or THAT?


American cities are fractured physically and socially by policies that enforce segregation and development that tears apart neighborhoods. We can end this cycle by re-knitting our social ties and creating wonderful urban landscapes. Based around Dr. Mindy Fullilove's new book "The Elements of Urban Restoration: Repairing American Cities After Blight, Flight and Disinvestment," the Summer Session urbanism seminar promises to expose unsustainable city practices and enlighten participants on the solutions through Fullilove's theory. The detailed seminar will review the necessary steps to healing, repairing and preparing cities for bright futures.

From what we learn in this seminar, we will start to revitalize Orange. One element at a time.

The Seminar starts at 9:30 a.m. on July 20th at IronWorks.
Please REGISTER for free at www.universityoforange.org before July 20th to attend this urbanism seminar and all other Summer Session events!
