EXHIBITION: Designing, Crafting and Building Community: 30 Years of Practicing a Design / Build Learning Model

UDP PC Lecture: When Driving is Not an Option with Author and Advocate Anna Zivarts

Join Anna Letitia Zivarts, author of When Driving is Not an Option, for an evening lecture exploring why the needs of involuntary non-drivers should be central to how we design our transportation systems and communities. When we design with non-drivers in mind, we not only make it easier for everyone to get where they need to go, but also create healthier, more climate-friendly communities. Anna is a low-vision mom, disability advocate, and fellow nondriver. She will shine a light on the realities faced by non-drivers and show how more inclusive transportation systems can improve quality of life for all. The lecture will be followed by a reception.

Human, non-human, cultural, geologic, floodplain, wetland, backwater habitats, and riverine systems depend on relationships and reciprocity to thrive. In the Twin Cities, there is a groundswell of awareness and advocacy that nurtures the critical relationships between these human and environmental systems across policy, design, and community forums.
