DESCRIPTION:Presented by Nik Luka\n\nJoin us on February 2nd\, 2022 | 12:05
  PM-1:05 PM (EST) | Free Online Event\n\nArchitects\, planners\, engineers
 \, and other specialists share common preoccupations with questions of des
 ign. We struggle with (and muddle through) responses to the climate emerge
 ncy and intertwined 'wicked problems' including the infrastructure gap\, h
 ousing affordability\, landscape recovery\, and of course the renormalizat
 ion of routine vis-à-vis the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on work I am now d
 oing with my research team in Sweden and Canada\, I will comment on how pr
 ofessional specialists are transcending disciplinary boundaries in practic
 e. I'll focus on a family of case studies holding promise but remaining fr
 aught with procedural challenges: the densification and retrofit of older 
 suburban landscapes in major metropolitan areas. How might governance mech
 anisms be (re)conjugated with politics of continuity and change to tackle 
 these challenges\, given the complex challenges of collective action where
  feedback loops are often abstract and/or long and slow by nature? Why doe
 s design matter in getting beyond the 'stovepiping' problem in public poli
 cy? How can we\, as designers\, act on the premise that it's not how dense
  we make it\, but how we make it dense\n\n \n\nRegister: https://mcgill.ca
