Are you an advocate or local leader looking to encourage better buildings in your community? Do you want to learn more about how you can become a small real estate developer for a project in your neighborhood?
Join us at the iconic Texas Theatre in the Bishop Arts District for a free lecture by IncDev Faculty Member Ryan Terry to learn how locals across North Texas are participating in shaping their neighborhoods and how you can, too!
Doors open at 5:30pm. The lecture will begin promptly at 6:00pm.
Dallas and the broader DFW region are at an exciting inflection point. Recent efforts like the “1 to 8 Dwelling Unit Ordinance” signal a growing momentum toward more flexible, human-scale development and everyday locals are already stepping up to shape what that looks like on the ground.
This lecture kicks off the IncDev National Field Trip, where participants will tour several of the region's best incremental development sites, including the 10th Street Historic District in Oak Cliff, Dallas and Historic Northside in Fort Worth. These places are living examples of what's possible when communities embrace small-scale, neighborhood-first development.
