South Park Report Released

In March, 2016, a ULI National Advisory Service program was engaged for South Park.  Just released is the final report entitled South Park, Charlotte, NC:  Envisioning a More Walkable, Multimodal Future for South Park. 

The Advisory Service program was supported by the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, real estate and businesses in the South Park Area, to discuss:

• The future vision of South Park as an evolving suburban mixed use activity center
• Establish goals and expectations for future investment
• Identify tools and next steps for implementation

The panel focus included Economic Development (supporting the growth and evolution of this suburban activity center as a desirable place for investment), Community Design (shaping the transition of this activity center from a suburban place (auto-oriented) to a walkable mixed use place (pedestrian-oriented)), Mobility (providing a balanced approach to mobility that creates viable choices and encourages walking, cycling and public transit), and Neighborhood Relationship (protecting and strengthening the surrounding neighborhoods as valuable places to live on the edge of a vibrant activity center).
