This webinar, jointly hosted by the Urban Land Institute and America Walks, features Ethan Kent of PlacemakingX and placemaking expert Carol Coletta to explore the strategies that transform ordinary streets into dynamic places. This webinar is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity in support of the Active People, Healthy Nation℠ initiative to help 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027. |
