Author’s Forum on Urbanism is a monthly series featuring authors in an hour-long, interactive discussion of recent publications on urbanism. The series, part of CNU’s On the Park Bench webinar program, takes a deep dive into each author’s insights through the lens of New Urbanism. The focus will be on ideas that are embodied in the book, which advance the understanding of precedents and design strategies to repair and make sustainable urbanism. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage with the authors during the session.

Italian architect Gabriele Tagliaventi discussed his new book that explains the Healthy City, its development starting from the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1920 and its various declinations, and responses from the Garden City, passing through the experience of Urban Villages and Garden Pocket Neighborhoods, up to the 15-minute City. Gabriele was interviewed by Dhiru Thadani.

This webinar is available for 1 CNU-A continuing education credit if viewed live or recorded.
