A MORNING PANEL, TITLED "TRANSFORMING THE DOWNTOWN CORE," EXAMINED FOUR PROJECTS (BY FIELD OPERATIONS, HARGREAVES ASSOCIATES, TEN EYCK LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND SWA) THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION PHASE IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS, REVEALING HOW A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE PRIORITY PARKS IN THE URBAN CORE. THE AFTERNOON PANEL, "TRANSFORMING AND CONNECTING THE CITY," WAS A FORWARD-LOOKING DISCUSSION OF LARGER-SCALE PROJECTS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY (I.E., IN THE PLANNING, DESIGN, OR EXECUTION PHASE) THAT AIM TO BALANCE, LEVERAGE, AND STEWARD BOTH NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES.

IT HAS OVER 2,000 ENTRIES SO FAR WITH CONTENT CREATED BY ACADEMICS, VOLUNTEERS, AND ADVOCATES, AND HAS BEEN VETTED OVER THE PAST DECADE BY DOZENS OF RESEARCHERS AND HISTORIANS. WE CREATED WHAT'S OUT THERE TO SERVE AS A REFERENCE FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF DESIGN AND HISTORY, ENTHUSIASTS, AND PROFESSIONALS, PROVOKING INTEREST, INFORMING STEWARDSHIP DECISIONS, AND ENRICHING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF OUR DESIGNED LANDSCAPE HISTORY.
