Reading the Public Realm

The Memphis Regional Design Center will start another session of its Urban Design 101 on September 28th.

I’ve taken this class and thought it was really great. And, of course, I wrote about it.

What is the Regional Design Center? I wrote about that, too. Check it out here.

From the Regional Design Center itself:

UD 101 will examine the transformative impact that innovative physical planning and design of the “public realm” are having upon the quality and success of urban life. The course will introduce a cross section of our region’s civic leaders – representing a mix of public, private and non-profit organizations – to the basic concepts, vocabulary, and techniques of urban design as reflected in a variety of contemporary place-making initiatives in Memphis and across the country.

Fun, no?
