Join us this Friday, November 21, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at Gloucester City Hall for the conference Rough Seas Ahead: Insights Into Cape Ann's Future. This daylong conference on developing local resilience will roll out new research by Harvard Graduate School of Design's Office for Urbanization and work by local cultural/environmental groups including Cape Ann Climate Coalition and Town Green. The focus, made possible by a research grant from NOAA, is on the conditions that make adaptation to climate induced changes possible: governance, finance, infrastructure, and community engagement. The event will feature a variety of conversations led by local leadership and the OFU's team of academic advisors. Swipe to see the full day's schedule of speakers and activities. The event is free and open to the public. #harvardgsd #officeforurbanization #harvard #knightfoundation #design #urbandesign #cities #urbanization #future #architecture #capeann #roughseasahead #towngreen #capeannclimatecoalition
