🌆 Sustainable Cities Symposium & User Interviews

Students participate in a live panel with urban planners, environmental advocates, or community members (in-person or virtual). After a brief moderated discussion on sustainable development and biodiversity, students conduct small-group interviews using prepared open-ended questions focused on human needs (housing, energy, water, transportation) and environmental concerns. Students capture direct quotes, observed tensions, and references to legislation such as the Clean Air Act or Endangered Species Act in structured notes.
