Designing for Impact – How Infrastructure + Transit Shape Architectural Opportunity

When: 10/31/2025 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST In an era where urban movement, connectivity, and sustainability define the built environment, this event invites architects to explore how large-scale mobility and infrastructure initiatives influence the way we design, engage with communities, and grow our practices. Drawing upon the bold goals laid out in Mecklenburg County's "Community Impact" agenda--expanding transit access, reducing emissions, linking jobs, education and neighborhoods--our speakers will guide you through what these changes mean for architectural firms and practices.

Tracy Dodson, The Charlotte Regional Business Alliance, and Ed McKinney, City of Charlotte Transportation will be presenting an update to the Charlotte Transportation Referendum.
