Join the Central Park Conservancy and Urban Design Forum for a conversation on how public process shapes commemoration in New York City’s public parks.

Public parks are some of our most used civic spaces, and the memorials and monuments within them shape how we remember the city’s past. Behind each project is a public process–spanning design, review, and long-term stewardship–that influences what stories are told and how they are experienced over time.

In this kick-off discussion of a three-part series, we’ll explore how these processes can help create commemorative spaces that are more inclusive, transparent, and reflective of New York City’s communities.

We’ll begin with an introduction on the history of public monuments in New York City by Jessica MacLean, followed by a panel discussion with Kendal Henry, Jenny Lantzas, Carolina Llano, and Justin Garrett Moore, moderated by Mabel O. Wilson.
