The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture will host its third annual "Future of Texas City-Regions Symposium," Envisioning Dallas: From Triangle to Trinity on Tuesday, May 2, 2006, at the Dallas Arboretum. This year, we will gather together local civic leaders as well as local, regional, and national experts in three key areas?ransportation, open space/recreation, and livability?o discuss the implications of future growth on this important Texas city-region. Key speakers will include Gail Thomas, representing the Trinity Trust; Karl Zavitkovsky, Director, Economic Development, City of Dallas; and Robert Decherd, Belo Corporation.
The Envisioning Dallas symposium is part of an exciting new initiative to establish the Dallas Urban Laboratory, a UT-Austin led urban design workshop in Dallas in the spring of 2007. The Dallas Urban Laboratory will bring the University's faculty and students to Dallas each spring and summer to conduct design explorations and local research into such large urban design issues as the relationship between our health and the built environment, affordable housing, and expanding mass transit. Students in the spring studio will also have the opportunity to co-op half-time with local partner firms.
Symposium attendees may receive four AIA Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education credits for attendance.
