Transforming Our Streets and the Public Realm Through Art and Programming
The last year and a half has showed us that our public plazas, sidewalks, and parks are more important than ever.
On this Gensler Design Exchange podcast, the Golden Triangle BID Executive Director, Leona Agouridis, sits down with Gensler Principal & Studio Director, Carolyn Sponza, and artist, Cheryl Wing-Zi Wong, to explore how art and the built environment can intersect to address the increased demand for public space activation spurred by the global pandemic and to create more equitable, sustainable business districts in the future.
