Sean Langley promoted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
As someone working and advocating for equitable development in Charlotte, please join us and fellow practitioners, city leaders, and interested citizens for a special one-day summit. Together, will honor and be inspired by our respective work in the space, work to develop common tools and language to help us accomplish our goals.
With the CharlotteFuture 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the 2040 Center City Vision Plan, and the Parks and Rec Master Plan all underway, it is essential that we understand how we can work together to advocate for generation-shaping policy that leads to true equitable development in Charlotte.
Over lunch, we’ll hear from Jay Pitter, a renowned author and placemaker whose practice mitigates growing divides in urban centers. “Cities are becoming increasingly divided,” Jay writes. “Public spaces have the power to foster understanding, inspire meaningful community participation and ownership, and instill joy. Every park, market, street, and alleyway is a litmus test for belonging.”
