Vibrant Cities is a multi-year initiative that aims to provide a platform for faculty, students, and the public to engage in meaningful conversation, where art and design meets social culture. Vibrant Cities engages with the arts, nature, and people--caring for and designing systems that ensure the long-term health and durability for all living on Earth. Vibrant Cities illustrates how human systems would benefit more from creative leadership. In partnership with others in our cities and communities, the Vibrant Cities initiative seeks to make the invisible visible, so that, together, our imagination and talents can make positive change.
