Knitting the Urban Fabric
Presenter(s): Peter Calkins, Forest City Enterprises; Terry D. Foegler, Campus Partners; John Martin, Elkus/Manfredi Architects
Convener: Wayne N. Bottomley, University of California - Los Angeles

Learn how three universities in three different ways have created transitional zones at the perimeters of their campuses. Each demonstrates the institution's desire to reach out to its respective supporting community and provide aesthetically and conceptually appealing facilities that enhance both the campus and the neighborhood. Planners will be interested in the common architectural and urban elements that create exciting, vibrant, and safe pedestrian areas in formerly blighted areas.
