Phoenix Urban Design Week - Day 5

Day 2 of the Retrofitting Sprawl Symposium consisted of a panel of local developers, including the Ranch Mine, Habitat Metro, Desert Viking, and Venue Projects: Kitchell-Perez, who discussed historic preservation, adaptive reuse for industrial and commercial properties, and residential rehabilitation in making the "American Dream" a sustainable one. It was interesting to see the corporate perspective on how to go about changing neighborhoods, and whole cities for that matter, to become more sustainable. I must admit, it was not as insightful as the first day, but still very informative.
