Joe Minicozzi
The
AIA-SWO Design Excellence invites everyone with an interest in fostering
vibrant downtown development to this year’s installment of the Making Great Cities lecture series. Entitled The
Dollars and $ense of Downtown Development, the lecture will be delivered on
Thursday, May 21 by noted advocate for smart and sustainable urban centers, Joe Minicozzi.
Joe Minicozzi is the principal of Urban3,
a consulting company created by Asheville, North Carolina real estate developer, Public Interest Projects. Urban3's work in pioneering geo-spatial representation of
economic productivity has prompted a paradigm shift in understanding the
economic potency of urbanism and the value of well designed cities. Their
studies of cities in the US and Canada have prompted the reevaluation of public
policy and a broader understanding of market dynamics created by tax policy.
Joe is a sought-after lecturer on city planning issues. Numerous
industry journals and international conferences have featured his work. He is a
founding member of the Western North Carolina-based, non-profit Asheville Design Center. Joe holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Miami
and a Master of Architecture and Urban Design from Harvard University.
Sponsors
for this year’s event include the City of Eugene, Dustrud Architecture, Downtown Eugene Incorporated, the Eugene Association of Realtors, Mindbox, and The Barn Light.
If
the previous Making Great Cities lectures are any indication, we can expect
nothing less than an inspiring and thought-provoking evening from a true leader
in the field of design excellence on the urban stage. I plan to attend Joe
Minicozzi’s presentation and I hope to see all of you there as well!
