Description

What makes a neighborhood into a community? With rising density in areas like San Diego’s East Village, good urban design is more essential than ever for creating vibrant communities.

Join us for a lively discussion about urban design strategies with a special focus on the dog park/dog run as an effective “mixer” for human and canine interaction.

Featuring panelists:

• L.A.-based design guru Frances Anderton of KCRW FM’s DnA
• San Diego urban planning maven Howard Blackson
• New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Horowitz, an expert on canine cognition and the human-dog relationship.

Alexandra will sign copies of her latest book, Our Dogs, Ourselves. All are welcome, including dogs! 🐕 🐶 🐩
