The Nashville Civic Design Center invites the public and members of the media to attend this month’s Urban Design Forum on Thursday, November 17, 2005 from 5:15 – 7:00 p.m. The topic — Reconnecting to Our River: Learning from Chattanooga — will focus on the recent transformation of Chattanooga’s Riverfront. Guest speaker Karen Hundt of Chattanooga’s Planning and Design Studio will discuss the scope of Chattanooga’s $120 million project, the public-private connection that helped make it happen and how the project was completed in just 36 months. 

Nashville is currently engaged in a riverfront redevelopment planning process that will rely on public input to produce a riverfront master plan.  Attendees will learn more about that process and how they can participate in the public meetings scheduled for December 3, 5 and 8 by attending the Urban Design Forum on November 17.
