As a Van Alen member, you are invited to join us for a book talk and conversation on Urban Acupuncture by Jaime Lerner, a new book celebrating transformational and innovative urban projects that have uplifted city life around the globe.

During his three terms as mayor of Curitiba, Brazil in the 1970s and ’80s, architect and urbanist Jaime Lerner transformed his city into a model of sustainable living. Former NYC DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan and noted author and urbanist Roberta Brandes Gratz will join Lerner in conversation following his book presentation.
