“Newcastle – Milwaukee: Legacy Cities and Vanguard” presentation by Ali Kopyt, Founder and Partner of HARKdc

This lecture is sponsored by Milwaukee Student Planning Association (MSPA).

Lecture Summary

In early November 2017, local architect, Ali Kopyt took part in Next City’s Vanguard conference held in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. This year the Vanguard conference looked at Legacy Cities through the lens of Newcastle, along with the development that has taken place in recent years. As the conference unfolded it became clear that there were many similarities between Newcastle and Milwaukee, also a Legacy City. Ali will be sharing her experiences from the conference and what we can learn from Newcastle.
