In celebration of Historic Preservation Month, the School of Environmental Design will host a lecture by Charleston mayor

Joseph Riley

Joseph P. Riley Jr. at 7:30 p.m. on April 17 in the Chapel. He will speak about “Preservation Potentials and Strategies for Historic Downtowns.” The lecture is free and open to the public.
Riley is widely considered one of the most visionary and highly effective governmental leaders in America. Since his first election in 1975, he has helped make Charleston one of the most livable and progressive cities in the United States, leading a city government with an impressive record of innovation in many areas, including housing, arts and culture, the creation of park and other public spaces, and economic revitalization and development. By restoring the heart of the city of Charleston, Riley has helped create one of the most vibrant and productive downtowns in America.
Through his experience in Charleston, Riley has become a leading expert on urban design and livability issues. He was a founder of the Mayors’ Institute for City Design and has provided critical urban design support to over 250 mayors across America.
