The Landscape Architecture program in the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development presents a guest lecture with Elena Tudela and Victor Rico, two of the co-founders of ORU – the Oficina de Resiliencia Urbana (Office of Urban Resilience) in Mexico City. This organization brings together more than ten years of experience in the academic, public, and private sectors and multilateral organizations.

ORU is a women and minority-led urban and landscape design office, with the main focus of building resilience to climate change. They utilize the transformative power of urban design and landscape infrastructure to shape new futures of interconnected urban regions, strengthened ecological structures, environmentally integrated cities, and resilient communities. All are welcome to attend the online lecture.
