Meeting the MURPs in Shenzhen

Thanks to the efforts of Jeremy Dalton and Pam Phan, I had the opportunity to give a joint lecture on "Sustainable Transportation in Portland" with Peter Koonce at the China Academy of Urban Planning & Design (CAUPD) in Shenzhen. Current PSU Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) students Pam Phan and JP McNeil are interning at CAUPD as part of the PSU China Innovations in Urbanization program. I also had the chance to present the same lecture at the Shenzhen Institute of Urban Planning and Design (UPDIS) where Jeremy Dalton and Szilvia Hosser-Cox are interning. It was great to see some familiar faces, make new friends and learn more about Shenzhen's amazing developments. We really appreciate the hospitality of our hosts!
