The third webinar in the series from Union Station Homeless Services tackles designing and building inclusive cities

How can we build better cities with inclusive housing for all? What can we learn from urban design and city planning successes from around the globe and locally?  What is the perspective of those who have lived with homelessness?   

A lively discussion about these and other questions will be the focus of the Changing the Narrative Series: Building Better Cities on January 25 from 5:30 – 7:00 pm
