Series Title: Shaping the Future – Land Use from the Global Perspective to Local Implementation The three lectures in AIA Monterey Bay's 2022 Arts + Architecture Lecture series will explore the question of land use in light of a growing world population and the very finite resources our planet provides.

This leads to important ethical questions as to what extent the "public" can support rural and suburban settlements.
