Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of the New York City Program Katheryn Doran and the Hamilton in NYC students attended the one-year anniversary gathering for "Blueprint for the Upper West Side: A Roadmap for Truly Livable Streets" on Thursday, Nov. 13. According to Doran, it was an "inspiring evening about successful grass roots work to create more pedestrian and bike friendly space on the Upper West Side."
The group heard from city officials and from world renowned Danish architect Jan Gehl, author of Life Between Buildings: Using Public Space, who chronicled the amazing transformation of the streets in Copenhagen where 36% of commuters now travel to work by bike. The students can be viewed in the audience in the second minute of an online video of the meeting.
