As deputy mayor for housing and economic development, native New Yorker Alicia Glen’s mandate includes more than 40 agencies and authorities. From empowering women entrepreneurs and preserving public housing to introducing a citywide ferry service, Glen has brought her frank and forthright approach to solving urban problems.

Join us for a conversation between Glen and former “Ethicist” columnist for The New York Times  Randy Cohen in a live recording of the radio show Person Place Thing. Glen will tell us about a person, a place, and a thing that have shaped her understanding of cities, and how that understanding has in turn shaped her work. The evening will also feature performances by banjoist Hubby Jenkins.

Register here to attend.
