Transforming Cities
Mixed-use districts that include residential and workplace spaces are replacing single-use office buildings as anchors for downtowns and reinvigorating cities.
What’s Next
Public-private partnerships and strategic placemaking revive cities. Mixed-use developments and public realm improvements help governments transform under-invested districts.
Community health hubs become the new epicenters of care for urban residents. As care moves closer to where people live, the focus shifts to wellness and prevention.
Cities prioritize resilience to harden against climate impacts. Urban planning and design features resilient strategies that contribute to long-term ecological sustainability.
