Charlotte, NC: The Good the Bad and the Ugly: Urban Design in Charlotte's South End

Join David Walters, a professor in urban design, for a walk around Charlotte’s South End neighborhood. This six-block walk demonstrates what's good and bad about the new urban development that is transforming many of Charlotte's close-in neighborhoods, and answers some questions about how and why this happens and how the quality of redevelopment can be improved. The walk will begin at the Common Market courtyard off the north end of Camden Road (or its former site if it's been demolished before the date of the walk). Walk south on Camden and the Rail Trail as far as the Aston apartments. The walk ends on the terrace of Big Ben pub in Atherton Mill.

Walkability in Holladay

We will be walking around our neighborhood in Holladay and trying to decipher how walkable it is. 

Downtown Holladay has developed over the years with new shops, restaurants and businesses. It is a close-knit neighborhood that encourages people to walk instead of drive. We would like to encourage our peers to continue this tradition, while also checking out the walkability of the neighborhood. We will also observe and discuss other characteristics of the neighborhood while walking and how we can personally contribute to creating a livable, healthy, and sustainable city. Come join us for frozen yogurt afterwards!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Leena, Raeya, and Lhyba
