(I’m trying to make a reference to the “Year 2000″ Conan sketches, but it’s hard to convey that you’re supposed to read my blog post title as if you were singing like La Bamba.)
Anyway, this evening I’m taking part in a CMCpm Panel Discussion on the Future of Urban Columbus, and we’re looking ahead to the year 2012. At first, that sounds like a pretty distant future, but with 2010 right around the corner, we’re really only talking about just over two years from now. And when you’re looking at the timelines of most large-scale urban development projects, it’s fairly easy to see which of the ongoing projects will be completed by that time.
Of course, the more important topic tonight will be some of the overarching development and demographic trends that will play a larger role in two years, as well as what needs to be done in terms of urban planning. With Mark Feinknopf, Michael Wilkos and Cleve Ricksecker joining the conversation, it promises to be a very fun discussion. Hope to see you there!
