L'Enfant Lecture on City Planning and Design

The American Planning Association and the National Building Museum established an annual lecture to draw attention to critical issues in city and regional planning in the United States. The lecture, named for Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who created the plan for Washington, D.C., features leading figures in planning, architecture, urban design, governance, and other fields.

The goal of the lecture series is to enliven national dialogue about urban and regional growth, while challenging individuals to create communities of lasting value for the 21st century and beyond.

Planning, Policy, and Poetics:
Reviving Investment in Transportation and Infrastructure in America

spacer Marilyn Taylor
Dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design

The 2011 L'Enfant Lecture was delivered by Marilyn Taylor, who became dean of The School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania in October 2008 after practicing as an architect and urban designer at Skidmore Owings & Merrill.

Taylor spoke on "Planning, Policy, and Poetics: Reviving Investment in Transportation and Infrastructure in America." Can we, as designers and planners, help rekindle a sense of stewardship for the future and rebuild the public will needed to stimulate investment? What does this mean for planners and, perhaps more importantly, for planning education?
