Very exciting news to share!! My new (and first!) book, Building Optimism, is out now! The book is an exploration of why our cities and towns look the way they do, and how to make them more beautiful, walkable, healthy, genial, affordable, dynamic and generally more desirable.

ISIE extends its thanks to Amparo Graciani for her insightful presentation and to everyone who attended! Don't forget to join us on May 7th for our next lecture by Dr. Sarah Z. Gould. More details at isie-global.org
