From the Outside In: Sustainable Futures for Global Cities and Suburbs
A Conference at Hofstra University
Keynote Speaker: Robert Bullard
This three-day conference will focus on sustainable futures in global city-regions, taking the suburbs as its starting point and working its way inward to the city center. The conference will focus primarily on the New York metropolitan area, though we also seek participation from experts working in other cities around the world.
