Parallel Workshop: Cultural Districts as Engines of Urban Transformation
What makes a cultural district a thriving, integral element in the fabric of urban life? Cities reinventing themselves, including Dallas, often invest in cultural projects, but these districts are hard to make sustainably successful. What do those planning new districts have to learn from historic, organic cultural districts?
Moderated by Adrian Ellis.
