Anchorage has recently added a museum expansion, a convention center, a University library, and a number of Midtown office buildings. Each new building helps define the urban landscape of our city. We’ll ask what you think of these new buildings, and talk about how they fit in with design and planning concepts for northern cities. Charles Wohlforth hosts, architect, Mike Mense and city planner Tom Davis this afternoon at 2:00 Hometown, Alaska.
