Charlotte is considered one of the lowest-density major cities in the U.S., which negatively impacts the city’s walkability and residents’ access to pubic transportation.

Importance of green spaces and environmental conservation.
Collaborative approaches to urban planning and policy-making.
Engaging communities in sustainable initiatives.
Balancing economic development with environmental stewardship.
Addressing social justice issues within urban planning.
Long-term vision for creating resilient and thriving cities.
