Connections: How to plan and design a "just city"

What does a "just city" look like when it comes to urban design? It's a question Toni Griffin of the Harvard Graduate School of Design explores in her work. She leads the Just City Lab, which "examines how design and planning contribute to conditions of justice and injustice in cities."

She joins us this hour to discuss her work. It's a preview of her upcoming presentation for the Community Design Center Rochester's Reshaping Rochester series. Our guests:

  • Toni Griffin, professor in practice of urban planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, leader of the Just City Lab, and founder of Urban Planning and Design for the American City
  • Nana-Yaw Andoh, board member for the Community Design Center Rochester
  • Maria Furgiuele, executive director of the Community Design Center Rochester
