November 4, 2016, Friday - Next Generation of Parks Lecture at Northrop Auditorium

Time: 7:00 pm

Location: Northrop Auditorium, 84 Church St. SE, Best Buy Theater

Minneapolis Parks Foundation presents: Next Generation of Parks Lecture: Maurice Cox

Minnesota Public Radio's Brandt Williams will talk with Maurice Cox, Detroit’s new Planning Director, named one of “20 Masters of Design” in 2004 by Fast Company. They’ll address the transformative power of democratic design and citizen planning. Cox's inspiring experience includes rebuilding community in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans and, now, Detroit, where future parks and greenspace are found at the intersection of design and social justice. Youth design apprentices from Juxtaposition Arts will open the event with a short presentation and video documenting their summer-long community engagement project exploring ideas for future Mississippi Riverfront parks and connecting them with North Minneapolis neighborhoods. Free.
