This lecture series and programming – in parallel with the school's next issue of The ReView: The Common Good book to be launched January 2026 – explores the values around what Michael Sandel defines as “practical wisdom” and “civic virtue,” about building long-term relationships, about a sense of agency, shared responsibility and ownership, and about a strategic and holistic vision that embraces all the disciplines of the built environment. A built environment that is alive and meaningful only when it works for the common good.
