Understanding the Present 

PechaKucha Nashville Vol. 50: A 50-Year Vision is part of an event series exploring the influence of The Plan of Nashville with regard to the past, present and future twenty years after it was published. PechaKucha presenters will explore present day reactions to ideas from The Plan. These presenters may not have been involved in The Plan of Nashville process 20 years ago, but they are here now, evaluating its impact.

Presenters might be considering, are visions from The Plan actually feasible to accomplish in 50 years? What present day developments have gone farther than we could have imagined? If we were to re-do The Plan of Nashville today, what ideas would be impossible to ignore? Nashville's present context is vastly different from the Nashville of 2005 and so we must check-in, evaluate, and provide a progress report for the 50-year vision now before we continue to forecast the future. 

About PechaKucha

Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", PechaKucha rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. 

Presenters will be announced soon…
