Event

A rundown hotel building, a decaying medieval church, a deserted wartime bunker, all set alongside the freshly erected skyscrapers of a modern cityscape. What do urban ruins say about our relationship to time and place? Poet Donna Stonecipher and Pulitzer Prize winning urban journalist (and professor of Urban Journalism!) Daniel R. Biddle will tackle this question and more for the latest installment of CITY PLANNING POETICS: URBAN RUINS, hosted by Urban Studies Instructor Davy Knittle. 

City Planning Poetics is a semesterly series, hosted by Kelly Writers House and sponsored by Creative Ventures, that invites one or more poets or more planners, designers, planning historians, or others working in the field of city planning to discuss a particular topic central to their work, to ask each other questions, and to read from their current projects.
