The Walkability Mandate: A Public Forum with Jeff Speck
Renowned US author, city planner and architectural designer Jeff Speck will share his vision for smart growth, sustainable design, and walkability in a public forum on 16 October at the State Theatre Centre.
The evening will include the opportunity to get involved in an audience Q&A and to purchase copies of Jeff’s new book, Walkable City – How Downtown Can Save America One Step at a Time. For more information on Jeff Speck visit http://www.jeffspeck.com.
Jeff has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive and he has it down to one key factor – walkability.
