This event, part of a series of talks on urban design presented by the PSU School of Architecture and the PSU Urban Design Collaborative, offers a conversation about land and its role in the city. By positioning land as infrastructure, this conversation recognizes that the relationship humans have with the land, the way in which we use it as a resource, and the regulations that turn it into a property, have all been designed. Land infrastructures lie at the root of all other infrastructures. Today we talk about the work undertaken by both speakers in collaboration with land trusts, conservancies, and community partners to reclaim and rematriate land, and in light of this work, what Land Back might mean at a larger scale. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/portland-in-conversation/1005/thumbnail.jpg
