The National Capital Commission’s Capital Urbanism Lab, launched last year in a pop-up space at 40 Elgin St., was a hit, hosting more than 35 mostly full-house events.

Now the NCC hopes to build on that success with a series of 10 lectures in 2015-16.

The lecture series kicks off Oct. 1 with a presentation on eco-design for cities and suburbs by famed urban planner Larry Beasley and Jonathan Barnett, an emeritus professor of practice in city and regional planning at the University of Pennsylvania.

It continues Oct. 29 with a lecture on “tactical urbanism” by Mike Lydon, author of Tactical Urbanism: Short-term Action for Long-Term Change.

Other lectures include:

  • Nov. 18 — A retrospective on capital planning with Queen’s University professor David Gordon and City of Ottawa planner Alain Miguelez.
  • Dec. 3 — Archeology in the Capital Region: Discovering our Past
  • Jan. 14 — Urbanism online
  • Feb. 18 — Creating a river culture in the capital
  • March 16 — The “ART” of city building
  • April 7 — Park stewardship: best practices
  • May 4 — Urban forests
  • June 21 — Aboriginal architecture and design

Most lectures will take place between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. in the fifth-floor urbanism lab. Full details will be available on the NCC’s website closer to the lecture dates.
