Description:
Join ASU Sr. Vice-President & Planner Richard Stanley and College of Public Service & Community Solutions Director of Community Relations – Dale Larsen as they walk through the profound recent history of this incredible downtown ASU/ Phoenix partnership. Beginning on an infamous “napkin” conversation in 2004 and still in progress, the ASU Downtown Campus in Phoenix has helped spur light rail, increased pedestrian activity, created urban housing models and development, produced mixed use/retail development, created an award winning urban park and sculpture, generated increased arts and culture activity, re-purposed strong architecture and adaptive re-use and preserved historic landmarks. In less than two decades, Phoenix downtown and the region has been transformed due in large part to a revitalized ASU downtown campus.
