The Syracuse Urbanism Book Club meets once a month every 3rd Wednesday at Salt City Market for casual discussion. The discussions generate ideas, thought, and even potential action plans for what can be the future of our own city(s). Come and join us!
The Urbanism Book Club is facilitated by Loey Rotchford.
