Save the Date! SDAPA Density Symposium: "Making Density Work" - October 10, 2008 - Higher densities are an important tool of smart growth. But, as every planner knows, resident's fears of traffic gridlock, parking meltdown and destruction of community character can derail or compromise even modest plans and projects. Still, with rising gas prices and changing attitudes towards urban living, the attractiveness of denser urban environments is on the rise. Is density our destiny? How can planners harness density to improve transit, enhance livability and create better places? How important is density to the revitalization of our downtowns and inner cities? Does density provide answers to our most persistent social and environmental problems? Can neighborhood perceptions be changed? How do we cope with gentrification? Please save the date for an all day APA symposium where we will explore the subject of density from a variety of perspectives and disciplines to help participants understand the benefits and issues associated with this most basic planning tool. CM credits pending.
