Future Fridays\u00a0is the National Building Museum’s\u00a0signature online series\u00a0as part of the\u00a0Future Cities\u00a0initiative, 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.\u00a0In 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 share their own perspectives, ask questions, and gain insight into how local choices reflect broader trends shaping American cities.<\/p>\n\t
