City of Charlotte to host Majora Carter at international gathering of city builders
Majora Carter, author, real estate developer, and urban revitalization strategy consultant, will give the keynote address at the Strong Towns National Gathering on May 31 in Charlotte.
Carter will speak to the purpose of the two-day conference, showing how members of a community can have an immediate, positive impact on the future of their place. “Nobody should have to move out of their neighborhood to live in a better one,” Carter has famously said.
The city of Charlotte will host hundreds of townmakers for the Strong Towns National Gathering May 30–31. This two-day conference brings together city professionals, planners, transportation engineers, and strong citizens from across North America to tackle housing affordability, traffic safety, growing municipal indebtedness, and dwindling local business opportunities in our cities.
“The people who are most qualified to decide how to revitalize our cities are the people who actually live in them. This gathering will give people the tools and inspiration they need to build the future of their city.”
The conference takes place at The Westin at 601 S College St. It is open to anyone who is interested, offering sessions and workshops for people with or without a professional background. Registration is open now at strongtowns.org/national-gathering
The National Gathering features specialized tracks for attendees of diverse interests, focusing on street safety, incremental housing development, creating Local Conversation groups, and paradigm-shifting Strong Towns insights.
