Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change

Lecture & Book Signing

Join Mary Corbin Sies and Isabelle Gournay (along with Robert Freestone), editors of the new book Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change. In the history of planning, the design of an entire community prior to its construction is among the oldest traditions. Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change explores the 21st-century fortunes of planned communities around the world. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, the editors and contributors examine what happened to planned communities after their glory days had passed and they became vulnerable to pressures of growth, change, and even decline.

​

Mary Corbin Sies and Isabelle Gournay will be signing books after the lecture. Reserve your copy today!
