3:00 - 4:00 PM - TOPIC 4: THE RISE OF 20-MINUTE CITIES – RETHINKING URBAN CENTERS AND DECENTRALIZATION TRENDS POST-PANDEMIC

Cities are experiencing profound changes as flexible work arrangements and evolving lifestyle preferences reduce the need for large office spaces and downtown retail, resulting in higher vacancy rates and diminished evening activity. To foster resilience and vitality, Central Business Districts must be reimagined as Social Districts, emphasizing mixed-use development that prioritize people-friendly streetscapes, flexible programs and spill-out spaces that cultivate social interaction over solely business functions.
