Coffee & Conversations w/ Eric Kronberg
About this Event
Park Light, Build Right: Unlocking Authentic Neighborhood Growth
Join us for an important conversation with urban design and incremental development expert Eric Kronberg from Kronberg Urbanists + Architects as he highlights how Charlotte can grow authentically and incrementally in nneighborhoods currently defined by auto-oriented strip commercial and those anticipating major investments in transit.
He'll discuss practical, market-realistic strategies for cultivating growth that doesn't rely on massive, subsidy-heavy expenditures. By scaling down our footprint and rethinking our regulatory frameworks, we can unlock the true potential of our transit corridors and build stronger, more resilient communities.
Did we mention free coffee, espresso beverages, and breakfast treats?! We're partnering with a local coffee purveyor to provide the caffeine we need to jumpstart the day! Grab a cup and join us for an exciting presentation and discussion hosted at the Charlotte Urban Design Center.
Space is limited, so register early to secure your spot!
About the Speaker
Eric Kronberg is a zoning whisperer. He specializes in balancing and blending the often competing needs of urban design, architecture, and development in a potent cocktail for better places. He specializes in breaking down and demystifying regulations to find ways to make great projects possible while helping others navigate the redevelopment maze. He uses his skills for the force of good as a principal at Kronberg Urbanists + Architects (KUA), leading the firm’s skilled practitioners to help our development partners create better places for all. His decade teaching for the Incremental Development Alliance motivated him to co-found Inc Codes, an incremental code reform company helping mid-sized cities take the next step towards better places. All this work is directed towards making flourishing neighborhoods -- places that are vibrant, lasting, AND inclusive. He recently joined the board of the Seaside Institute to help the leading think tank for the New Urbanism strategically focus on how to integrate attainable housing into our great, walkable places.
