MDRN & APA-CMS Event: Creating Local Character: Tools to Find and Enhance Community Design
Join us for the fourth year of a collaboration between the Municipal Design Review Network (MDRN) and the Chicago Metro Section of American Planning Association’s Illinois Chapter. This session is intended to give planners ideas and tools to engage stakeholders, including residents, boards, commissioners, and policy makers, in conversations about design. Establishing a shared language and vision for the character of a corridor, a downtown, or a streetscape can result in community pride, political support, and a stronger end product. Topics at the session will include outreach strategies to engage stakeholders, as well as graphics and tools to facilitate meaningful conversations about local design. Networking Breakfast: 8:30am, Program 9 - 11am. Location: 243 S Wabash Ave, Suite 9000. CM: 1.5 CM Credits. Click here to register. For program questions, email cms@ilapa.org.
