Panel Discussion at the Walker: The Shifting Landscape of Suburbia
Thursday April 24, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
Walker Art Center
Free tickets are available at the Bazinet Garden Lobby desk from 6:00 p.m.
In today’s expanding metropolitan areas, the lines between urban and suburban are rapidly blurring. Population growth, immigration, and transportation are among the many factors that city planners, designers, and developers confront as they prepare for the next million people to move into Minnesota’s suburbs. Join panelists Lance Nekar of the Metropolitan Design Center, Dan Bergin of Twin Cities Public Television, Michael Lander of Lander Group, and others for a discussion about the challenges and successes of new suburban design, how suburbs are becoming destination environments, and the cultural implications of these shifts. Moderated by Todd Melby.
