DESCRIPTION:Challenges of Urban Landscapes in 21st Century US Cities: The Role of Urban Design \nDespite the flourishing of the urban design field over the last quarter of a century\, many of the issues and problems haunting urban environments have not been resolved. New social forces and concerns have appeared that have important spatial and design implications on how we should design and build our cities. These forces range from intensifying globalization and immigration flows to increasing flows of population to urban areas and increasing automobile ownership. Concerns about climate change\, terrorism in cities and the epidemic of obesity and sedentary lifestyles have also intensified. Professor Loukaitou-Sideris’s talk will trace the spatial implications of these issues and will also explore the role and potential of urban design in responding to them. \nAbout Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris \nAnastasia Loukaitou-Sideris is Associate Provost for Academic Planning at UCLA\, Associate Dean of the Luskin School of Public Affairs\, and a Professor of Urban Planning. She holds a B.A. in architecture from the National Technical University of Athens\, Master’s degrees in architecture and in urban planning\, and a Ph.D. in urban planning\, all from the University of Southern California. Her research focuses on the public environment of the city\, its physical representation\, social meaning and impact on residents. She has published more than 100 articles and chapters and has co-authored or co-edited five books: Urban Design Downtown: Poetics and Politics of Form; Jobs and Economic Development in Minority Communities; Sidewalks: Conflict and Negotiation over Public Space; Companion to Urban Design; and The Informal American City: Beyond Taco Trucks and Day Labor. Her research projects have been funded by the California Air Resources Board\, Caltrans\, California Department of Parks and Recreation\, Mellon Foundation\, Haynes Foundation\, Gilbert Foundation\, Archstone Foundation\, and the Mineta Transportation Institute\, while she is about to embark on a project on age-friendly cities funded by the AARP. \nProfessor Loukaitou-Sideris has served as a consultant to the Transportation Research Board\, Federal Transit Administration\, Southern California Association of Governments\, South Bay Cities Council of Government\, Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative\, Project for Public Spaces\, Greek Ministry of Education\, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology\, Dutch Technology Foundation STW\, and as nominator for the MacArthur (“genius”) awards.

DESCRIPTION:Popping the Cork on Geography and Intellectual Property: Can California Make Champagne? \nHere in Napa Valley we have a long-standing and justly celebrated wine industry. But to many European winemakers\, it is a crime that Napa wines can be called Champagne\, Port\, or Burgundy. Each of these terms refers to a place or region\, but has long been used here in the U.S. to identify different types of wine. \nThe battle over protecting these place-names has consumed a lot of attention in Washington and Sacramento. Should California be able to call its sparkling wine Champagne? What about calling its cheese Parmesan? Professor Raustiala will explore the arguments for and against the legal protection of place-names and explains what is at stake for our system of food and agriculture. \nAbout Professor Raustiala:  \nKal Raustiala is professor at UCLA School of Law and the UCLA International Institute\, where he teaches in the Program on Global Studies.

DESCRIPTION:The Road to the White House: Who’s Winning and Why? \nWho’s ahead and who’s behind in the race for the White House in 2016 — and more importantly why? Is what’s happening this year unusual or are there patterns at play that we’ve seen in past elections? Is this time really different — or does it just seem that way?
