What lies ahead for our cities? Will we be seeing sustainable cities when we recover from COVID-19, which has drastically changed the way we live in and experience them? A multidisciplinary panel of urban studies experts may help us unpack these questions.
This talk features:
- Remmon E. Barbaza, editor of Making Sense of the City: Public Spaces in the Philippines
- Gary C. Devilles, author of Sensing Manila
- Rebecca Tinio McKenna, author of American Imperial Pastoral: The Architecture of US Colonialism in the Philippines
- Michael D. Pante, author of A Capital City at the Margins: Quezon City and Urbanization in the Twentieth-Century Philippines
- with Arnisson Andre C. Ortega, author of Neoliberalizing Spaces in the Philippines: Suburbanization, Transnational Migration, and Dispossession as moderator
As part of Read Local: Filipino Books for Filipinos webinar series, join these authors in a conversation about timely and relevant issues in our country today because what we learn from books helps us better understand the community we live in.
This talk is organized by Ateneo de Manila University Press in support of Aklatan 2020, the first all-Filipino online book fair, on the Shopee app and website.
