Centers are the heart of your community–where people gather, where public spaces, commerce, and housing meet, and people are offered choices on how to get around. As our communities grow, focusing on centers not only offers vibrancy to your community but also offers opportunities for economic growth and building in a way that has innumerable positive impacts for your town or city. In this free 60-minute webinar, we’ll cover the role centers play in addressing the challenges of growth, the various types of centers you can choose from, and how to get started in planning one for your community.
