Workshop
Re:Visioning The American City (1 AICP CM awarded)
Freed will present Re:Vision Dallas, the first fully sustainable inner city block in the United States. This session will look at how the design community has applied what they call the "unified conceptual framework" to overcome monumental challenges in just a few days’ work. Questions explored include: how can publicly shared best practices from the Dallas project help advance sustainable city planning in Florida? How can cities in Florida accomplish more by collaborating with cities across the country and around the world? What can be done now to initiate sustainable developments that help advance the social imperatives of our urban communities?
