Exhibition
Re-Imagining Cities: Urban Design After the Age of Oil
December 02–December 04, 11:00 AM–5:00 PM
The Municipal Art Society of New York, 457 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022
In a world of decreasing oil and increasing climate change, Re-Imagining Cities showcases innovative ideas, projects, initiatives and policies from around the globe that can help us re-think how we inhabit urban areas. The exhibition contains a range of interventions: from car sharing to citywide environmental initiatives to futuristic floating cities. While no one solution or set of solutions is the answer, the projects displayed in the exhibition show us the spectrum of possibilities: the changes we can make on our own and the changes we will make together, the changes we can make today, and the changes we will make tomorrow.
