The Future of Main Streets in Small Legacy Cities

As the pandemic has forced cities to open their streets into laboratories of shared use, what have we learned about the Main Streets that form the downtown cores of our communities? What is the future of the storefront, sidewalks, and public spaces in these small, urban ecosystems? How are ground floor occupancy models shifting towards experiential programing and community spaces? Case studies from Troy, Schenectady, and Kingston, NY.

Speaker: Reif Larsen, Founder, Future of Small Cities Institute
