After the devastation of Sandy caught NYC unawares, many questions are left for the future. Join Michael Kimmelman, the architecture critic of the New York Times, at The Museum of the City of New York for a panel discussion about “large scale public projects” in post-Sandy New York. Make sure to get a reservation in advance either online or call (917) 492-3395.

New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman will lead a conversation among a wide-ranging group of thinkers about how New York City can tackle large-scale public projects in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, both effectively and fairly. With architectural historian Hilary Ballon, University Professor at NYU and curator of the Museum’s blockbuster exhibitions on Robert Moses and the Grid;Adam Freed, Director of the Global Securing Water Program at the Nature Conservancy; Adriaan Geuze, founding Principal of West 8 Urban Design & Landscape Architecture (Rotterdam and New York); and Philip Orton, Research Scientist at Stevens Institute of Technology and an expert on storm surges and physical oceanography.”
