Moshe Safdie joins the 85th season of Thursday Morning Talks delivering a lecture on Humanizing Megascale: how cities are becoming denser, and what we need to do to make them humane and habitable. Mr. Safdie highlights the role of community and the public realm within urban areas of high density. He discusses the interdisciplinary effort required to create such spaces with moderator, Carrie Yoon, with whom Mr. Safdie has worked with for over twenty years.
