Inventing Urban Futures: Lessons from Three Centuries of City-making

As cities face rapid change and growing uncertainty, questions about how we imagine and plan for the future have taken on renewed urgency. This interactive event draws on insights from Bruno Carvalho’s new book, “The Invention of the Future: A History of Cities in the Modern World,” to explore how historical visions of tomorrow’s cities continue to shape contemporary urban planning and policy.

Virtual event open to all. In-person event open to all Harvard University ID holders. Registration is requested as space is limited. Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees.
