Parsons MA Theories of Urban Practice presents: Agents of Public change

Join us for a presentation and workshop based on our findings from an investigation into the systems of informality in Union Square.

From January 12th – 23rd, two groups of students from Parsons and the University of Sao Paulo worked together in New York City in an intensive workshop employing the experimental approach of Research-as-Practice. This model resulted in a workshop that was open-ended, where a specific goal and outcome were not predetermined.

Within the interstitial moments of ambiguity, we identified opportunities for interventions and will present actionable proposals that can benefit various stakeholders who regularly participate in informal transactions.
