  • Jonathan Glancey (The Guardian)
  • Paul Goldberger (The New Yorker)
  • Sarah Williams Goldhagen (The New Republic), and

Part of the Chicago Architecure Foundation's Visionary City Series, in conjunction with its Chicago Model City exhibition, this unique event presents Chicagoans with an opportunity to hear leading voices in the field of architectural criticism discuss the future of cities worldwide.
