Embracing ComplexCity: the 6th annual SCARP Student Symposium
Friday, February 7 at UBC
At this year’s Symposium, we will explore ways to respond to the ‘wicked problems’ of the twentieth-century – environmental, social and economic challenges like climate change and demographic shifts. How can we work towards improving the resilience of our cities and regions in the face of uncertainty and complexity?
