Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak will hold the second of three Great City Forums to frame his second term agenda. The public forum “Re-Weaving the Urban Fabric: Creating Great Spaces for a Great City” will focus on Mayor Rybak’s vision for urban design and community development. Mayor Rybak will outline how transit, economic development, public art, architectural design, and green-space, all work together to create great, sustainable spaces.
“I believe that we are not here just to build and grow the city but to weave it together, to restore the fabric that differentiates a great city from another housing development, office park, or shopping center. The New Minneapolis will not be about just housing, or jobs or transportation in isolation, it will be an integrated collection of urban villages where the economy grows because we are stewards of the greatest natural environment of any city in America,” Rybak said.
Forum participants will be asked to bring a picture to the event illustrating examples of “great spaces” for a collage that will be publicly displayed. The forum is co-hosted by the Minneapolis Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Urban Land Institute. To register for this free public event, contact AIA-MN at Gilhoi@aia-mn.org.
