Episode 11 - Coby Lefkowitz: Building Optimism
On this episode of CivicCast I chat with our upcoming CivicCon speaker, Coby Lefkowitz
Coby is the author of Building Optimism, which explores why American communities look the way they do, and offers a series of concrete reforms to make them more beautiful, desirable and affordable through dozens of project vignettes.
Trained as an Urban Planner at the University of Virginia, Coby's work explores the intersection of development and urban design to promote more walkable, dynamic and sustainable communities.
Coby will give a free CivicCon presentation on Monday, April 14 from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. at the Wesley Abbey Building of First United Methodist Church. You can register for that event at this link.
He will also lead a small group workshop the following morning, Tuesday, April 15 from 8:00 - 9:30 a.m. at Maritime Place. You can email Eduardo Lara at elara@civicconversations.org to be added to that meeting.
