Eve Picker's world is wrapped around cities and change. Her background as an architect, city planner, urban designer, real estate developer, community development strategist, publisher and instigator, gives her a rich understanding of how cities work, how urban neighborhoods can be revitalized, what policies are needed to do it, and the unique marketing that creates the buzz needed for regeneration. With cityLAB in Pittsburgh, her first non-profit venture, Eve is turning her passion for cities to broader, city-wide revitalization issues.
Picker will speak at the UIX Forum: The Art of Place on Wednesday, September 24 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. View her TEDxTalk, "My Cure for the Common City,"
