Examining the Post-Retail City

Lunchtime Forum

Even before the pandemic struck, the fate of retail and “main street” activity in our cities was unclear due to the rise of e-commerce, the cost of labor and other trends. This year, an advanced studio course at California College of Arts tackled this question, which has become even more poignant in the COVID-19 era. Join us to examine the studio’s proposals — which have evolved from the nascent forms unveiled at SPUR in February — in a roundtable discussion with experts and stakeholders as we consider the future of neighborhood public life in cities.
