On Wednesday, June 4, at UNCA’s Olli Reuter Center and on Zoom, join Joe Minicozzi of Urban 3 for a discussion of our region’s urban planning. 

Minicozzi is an urban planner imagining new ways to think about and visualize land use, urban design and economics. He founded Urban3 to explain and visualize market dynamics created by tax and land use policies. Urban3’s work establishes new conversations across multiple professional sectors, policy makers, and the public to creatively address the challenges of urbanization. Urban3’s extensive studies range geographically over 30 states, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and certainly North Carolina and Asheville where he resides.

Minicozzi holds a bachelor of architecture from the University of Miami and master of architecture and urban design from Harvard University. In 2017, Joe was recognized as one of the 100 Most Influential Urbanists of all time. 

This free program begins at 7 p.m. at 300 Campus Drive and is open to the public. The Zoom link is on wncsierraclub.org.
