Joel Kotkin is the Presidential Fellow of Urban Futures at Chapman University and Executive Director of the Center for Opportunity Urbanism.
Kotkin discussed his newest book, The Human City: Urbanism for the Rest of Us, which challenges the way we think about our cities. Instead of the conventional urban-planning strategy of high-density cities, he favors a decentralized, more sustainable alternative.
The McCloskey Speaker Series presents a unique and diverse roster of distinguished speakers. The series is made possible by a generous donation from the McCloskey Family Charitable Foundation.
