Streetcars as a New Urbanist Tool
Once ubiquitous, streetcars are now uniquely suited to serve the high-density development underway in downtowns across the U.S. Participants learned about new streetcar systems and why they have become magnets for new urbanist development. Speakers also discussed how to leverage economic development and how to build political and community support. Based on the Charter Award-winning book, Street Smart: Streetcars and Cities in the 21st Century.
