The world has changed, and that’s good news for small cities like Lancaster. The recent recession has changed attitudes on where people, young and old, want to live and work. Many small cities across the country are gaining population faster than the suburbs.

Nationally recognized for his expertise in “walkable urbanism,” Christopher Leinberger will share his thoughts on how Lancaster can better respond to emerging opportunities, new ideas, and strategic planning that encourages people to enjoy the urban experience by living and working downtown. And he will discuss the infrastructure investment that must be considered.
