Impact 704: Academy: Intro to Smart Growth (Session 1)

November 21 - 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Impact 704

Join Sustain Charlotte on Thursday, November 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Urban Design Center in South End as we kick off our annual Impact 704 Academy! This free 3-part series (also Dec 5th & 11th) will help you build the skills, knowledge, and relationships to advocate successfully. The first session will focus on the basics of smart growth as we answer the question, “How can better land use and transportation decisions build a more sustainable community?

The event will include a presentation by the Charlotte Heat Mappers about the results of a community heat mapping project along with discussion of actions communities can take to support a cooler, more resilient Charlotte. There will be plenty of time for audience Q&A and interaction.

This event is FREE but registration is required.
