Description
Fort Worth is no longer a small town. With almost a million people, it is now the 11th largest city in the country. It has more vacant land than most large cities and given this expansion potential, it is likely to move up the list in the next few years.
As Fort Worth “grows up,” the city faces two different types of growth and development challenges:
1. how to manage “infill” development in a way that strengthens neighborhoods and business districts; and,
2. how to “build better suburbs” so they are an asset to the city and not a financial drain.
This Design Talk will feature Bill Fulton, FAICP, author of the recent book, Place and Prosperity: How Cities Help Us to Connect and Innovate. Bill brings to the conversation decades of experience and in 2009 was named one of Planetizen’s Top 100 Urban Thinkers. He will discuss how cities, as they grow bigger, can use comprehensive planning and placemaking to strengthen communities and economic success and ensure that the built environment provides the city’s people with both a high quality of life and a favorable economic return.

I think this cowboy village is pretty good. It&#39;s a crowded and lively place. Some buildings are very old, and some buildings look a bit like Mexican style. When I went there, I saw a cattle drive show, which was interesting. The cows were so cute, all with long horns, and their heads shook as they walked. Later, I went to the train station to watch a show. The cowboys&#39; gunfight was very interesting, and the gunshot scared me. Then there were many craft and painting shops, many bars along the street, and many places to consume. We bought a T-shirt with fort worth and Texas printed on it, but Made in China, haha, in short, it&#39;s pretty good! Worth a visit!
