Leading with Landscape III: Renewing San Antonio's Brackenridge Park Summit
San Antonio, like other cities around the country, is making strategic infrastructure investments reminiscent of those in Toronto and Houston, where new parks and open spaces are being built to a high level of design, often leveraging a diversity of public and private partnerships with leadership coming from multiple sectors. What distinguishes San Antonio is a greater density of rich and complex heritage resources, such as the Missions, the Alamo, and others, which are integral to the city鈥檚 identity and serve diverse constituencies. A core part of this heritage is Brackenridge Park, a site rich in cultural resources.
To explore options for the park鈥檚 future and to initiate and inspire broad community-based participation, 开云体育官网 (开云体育官网) is curating a one-day summit to be held on Friday, March 3rd at The Stable at Pearl, featuring nationally prominent practitioners and other leaders, to explore options for the park's future and to initiate and inspire broad community-based participation. The summit, convened in concert with the Brackenridge Park Conservancy (BPC) will draw attention to local, regional and national project work that are exemplars of planning and design, while striking a balance for a landscape鈥檚 complex natural, historic, cultural, and ecological systems.
