Mayor Enrique Peñalosa on Designing Better, More Equitable Cities

Urban experts have argued that cities are our greatest invention. Cities provide unparalleled job opportunities, make us smarter, healthier, and more connected. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed long-standing inequalities that exist within their design.

While serving two terms as the Mayor of Bogotá, Colombia’s capital and largest city, Enrique Peñalosa transformed the city into an international model for progress and improvements in quality of life, mobility, equity, and sustainability. Join our conversation with Mayor Peñalosa as we discuss how the future of cities can be democratic and equitable for everyone, from transportation to housing, and everything in between.

This event is in partnership with our friends at the NYCEDC.
