Professor Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani: Interviewed on Stitcher
How can we create a public planning ecosystem where people can disagree, with respect? Visiting Assistant Professor of Urban Studies, Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani, explores this in her recently-released book: “Contested City: Art and Public History as Mediation at New York’s Seward Park Urban Renewal Center” (SPURA). Hear how she and her students from the New School utilized art and dialogue to engage with residents, governments, nonprofits and other partners to re-envision NYC’s SPURA area after over 40 years of displacement, demolition and stagnation on the 17th episode of The Holistic Housing Show (or iTunes).
The book will be released officially on January 3rd, 2019, but is available for pre-order now. Save the date for the book launch at The New School on February 12th, 2019!
