Mellon Forum on the Urban Environment

Aug. 27, 2020

Jodhpur city in India

Mark your calendars! The Fall 2020 Princeton-Mellon Research Forum on the Urban Environment will feature a series of interactive sessions on the post-pandemic city.

Registration links will be available on the Princeton-Mellon Initiative website.

What do “we” want the post-pandemic city to be?

Organized by Dietmar Offenhuber, Princeton-Mellon Fellow, and Anu Ramaswami, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, and the Princeton Environmental Institute; Director, Chadha Center for Global India

This series of interactive sessions seeks to identify problems, present recent insights, and identify spaces of conflict and negotiation in the (post) pandemic city, with emphasis on how we might collaboratively design cities for the post-pandemic world.

All sessions will be held on Zoom, with registration links to be available on the Princeton-Mellon Initiative website and our emails. Mellon Forum events are  free and open to the public.
