"Planning, Policy, and Poetics: Reviving Investment in Transportation and Infrastructure in America"

The 2011 L'Enfant Lecture was delivered by Marilyn Taylor, who became dean of The School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania in October 2008 after practicing as an architect and urban designer at Skidmore Owings & Merrill.
