‘Agency and Resilience’ is the theme for the 10th conference of the Pacific Rim Community Design Network.

In the face of global and local environmental, social, and economic challenges, we invite international planners and designers to deliberate on theories and design practices related to resilience. The theme ‘Agency and Resilience’ is set for community designers and related scholars or professionals around the globe to explore the roles of various stakeholders in advancing and realizing resilient urban planning and design in diverse spatial and temporal settings to address issues related to climate change and socio-spatial polarization.
