RE-ASSEMBLING INSTITUTIONS & INFRASTRUCTURE
Mon, Jan 17, 2022 at 6 p.m. ET

New digital technologies alongside hands-on makerspaces and innovative leisure and recreational facilities are updating traditional civic centres, turning them into leading examples of how public institutions can facilitate democracy. How might important civic hubs take on an expanding list of programmatic uses to become even more celebrated spaces of public assembly? What roles do such institutions play in society?
