Lessons Learned • Major urban sites such as
former airports are once in a generation opportunities for city-building.
• Custom design takes time and energy but is worth the effort to have form follow function and create a strong sense of place.
• Having high quality transit in place prior to development is a huge advantage for high density, multi-modal planning.
