Columbus is a city pursuing its potential – revitalizing its downtown, infilling the edges, attracting businesses, students and young professionals. But can the city and its metropolitan region grow in a manner that is viable for the long-term? The best chance – and opportunity – is to create new choices within existing communities by making them more walkable, livable and diverse. Quality of life of residents will improve and make the city, the region and the state competitive for the future. Galina Tachieva, director of town planning at Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ) and author of the Sprawl Repair Manual, will present an innovative toolbox for redeveloping and updating aging suburban patterns through regional, community and micro-scale strategies based on high-quality place-making and sustainable infrastructure. These holistic solutions can bolster the economy, the environment and the community. 1 AIA HSW SD Learning Unit Tuesday, April 19, 2011 Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center Free for AIA Members to attend. $55 for guests.
