About Future Fridays<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Future Fridays is the National Building Museum\u2019s signature online series as part of the Future Cities initiative, hosted by James Darius Ball, director of Future Cities. Each one-hour session highlights the people, stories, and decisions that shape cities and everyday life in communities across the country.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In its second year, the series emphasizes personal narratives and community perspectives, showing how residents, planners, designers, and civic leaders influence neighborhoods, public spaces, and city life. Participants can\u00a0share their own perspectives, ask questions, and gain insight into how local choices reflect broader trends shaping American cities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Future Cities programming\u00a0extends beyond Future Fridays, with a four-year slate of exhibitions, events, lectures, publications, digital activations, and community-based engagements designed to reach audiences from all\u00a0walks of life\u00a0and encourage participation in shaping the places where they live, work, and play.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
