Thursday, February 1, 2007
DC Builds/National Building Museum
Density by Design
6:30–8:00 pm
$12 Museum members and students; $20 nonmembers.

Moderated by Ellen McCarthy, former director of the DC Office of Planning, David Dixon, FAIA, principal-in-charge of planning and urban design at Goody Clancy, Christopher B. Leinberger from the Brookings Institution, and Harriet Tregoning, director of the DC Office of Planning, will explore the heated topic of “density.”

The discussion will consider the economic, social, environmental and cultural benefits of higher-density development, as well as the feared neighborhood impacts of additional traffic, parking pressure, and soulless architecture. This lecture is presented in collaboration with the DC Office of Planning and held in conjunction with Washington: Symbol & City, which will be open for viewing.

I've never heard Harriet Tregoning speak. Now might be the time. David Dixon and Chris Leinberger are excellent presenters.
