Business opportunities big and small will be the topic of discussions this week, ranging from macro visions of urbanism to micro loans for small companies.
Downtown-based Hamilton Anderson Associates will host the first of a series of lectures this Tuesday evening called
lecturesHAA. Hamtramck-based Design 99 designers Gina Reichert and Mitch Cope will talk about contemporary architecture, its impact and audience. Design 99 has worked on projects such as the Power House and MOCAD’s
Shrinking Cities Exhibit.
The lecture series is focused on establishing a dialogue about issues that impact big cities, such as urbanism, sustainability and innovation. The idea is to create strategies around these issues that spur reinvestment and redevelopment.
“It’s a tool to open up some dialogue,” says Christina Hansen, designer with
Hamilton Anderson.
The first lecture will be held at 6 p.m., Tuesday, June 23, in the Johanson Charles Gallery, 1345 Division St. in Eastern Market.
Later this week the Center for Empowerment and Economic Development will host an Entrepreneur’s Roundtable for Contractors on Thursday. The roundtable will feature information on financing, resources and business opportunities. It will be held between 8:30 a.m. and noon at the Odd Fellows Hall, 8701 W. Vernor St. in Mexicantown. For information, call (313) 255-1020.
