Wyly Theater, Dallas Arts District | April 19th | 7:30-10 am Keynote Speaker: Chris Leinberger Panel Members:
Moderator: Scott Polikov, of Gateway Planning There is a lot of talk about walkability, but what’s the real story? Are Texans truly ready to surrender their cars (or at least one of them) and live in dense residential areas? Will local governments and current residents be supportive? Hear the latest news on this trend from Chris Leinberger, national expert on walkability. Using detailed economic data, Leinberger identifies the value-add created by walkable neighborhoods to help win support for such developments. Panel members will explore the challenges of creating walkability when dealing with wary existing neighborhoods, outdated or inflexible regulations, and market perceptions and realities. Join other North Texas leaders for this Urban Summit on a key issue for our region’s future!
