Session 3G: Public Sector Perspectives

29 October 2019
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

As all demographics flock to cities, it is important to consider how infrastructure designed for and around a more mature population can fit into the dense vertical urbanism model, and furthermore, meet their needs sustainably, effectively and unobtrusively. This session highlights urban development challenges and solutions through a Passive House tower on a public housing site in New York, a high-rise infill project in Ottawa, and the navigation of Chicago’s Fulton Market, into a developing environment of high-rises and residential units that also maintains the area’s historic capital.
