What role does walkability play in the vibrancy of a community? Join us as Jeff Speck, author and planner, reveals the invisible workings of the city, how simple decisions can have cascading effects, and how streets may actually matter more than the buildings along them.
The Greater Des Moines Partnership and Des Moines Area MPO are pleased to host this session as we work to advance the concepts within Capital Crossroads: A Vision Forward and The Tomorrow Plan.
