Event Summary
Who? The Syracuse Urbanism Collective strives to build access to human-centered, walkable, vibrant communities and spaces for all. We’ve collaborated with Hopeprint and SustainCNY to organize this event. This event is open to all. We encourage anyone who is interested in the topic to attend!
What? Central New York is on the cusp of growth and change. Let’s plan for the kind of growth we want to see. We have the opportunity to get things right when it comes to housing and development, transportation and infrastructure, open spaces and public amenities, and local and regional development patterns. Come together with both immediate neighbors and those from across the region to build a more equitable, resilient, and thriving future.
When / Where? Nov 15, 2024 at the McCarthy Mercantile in Downtown Syracuse, NY.
Why? This event is a way to build a stronger conversation about how to plan for the right kind of growth to shape Central New York for the future we want to see in our communities. We can kick off advocacy coalitions around areas of shared interest that arise from the resulting discussions.
