“How Civic Health Can Benefit Urban Planning” is the topic of the College of Architecture and Planning’s guest lecture set for 4 p.m. Feb. 19 in AB 100.
Megan Gulla, director of public engagement and outreach at CivicLex, is the guest speaker. She will introduce CivicLex’s unique approach to local civic engagement in Lexington, Ky. Four recent projects related to city planning will be discussed, with details about their scope, public engagement processes, and outcomes. The lecture will conclude with ways other communities can incorporate CivicLex’s framework in their own public engagement work between residents and the local government.
Ms. Gulla has a strong interest in how individuals at the local level can shape change in the communities in which they live.
