SUMMARY:Issues Over Lunch - Our Future 35: Vision to Reality
DESCRIPTION:The reconstruction of I-35 through central Austin presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reconnect our community with 30 acres of land—caps and stitches—above the highway. This ambitious endeavor aims to knit our city together\, transforming a historic divide into a vibrant\, inclusive space for all Austinites. \nThe Downtown Austin Alliance and the City of Austin have collaborated for years with diverse leaders and community members to craft a shared vision for the Our Future 35 Cap and Stitch Project. This visionary initiative seeks to reimagine the I-35 corridor as a space that fosters connectivity\, equity\, and vitality. \nAfter years of advocacy for funding\, policies\, and public support\, we are nearing a pivotal moment: transitioning from vision to reality. \nJoin us for a dynamic conversation with industry experts who will share their insights and lessons learned—good\, bad\, and ugly—from implementing successful cap and stitch projects in their cities. Together\, we’ll explore what it takes to turn bold ideas into thriving community assets. \nYou can order your ticket here. \nSpeakers: \n\nKit Sawers\, CEO of Klyde Warren Park\nRob Walters\, Board Chair of Klyde Warren Park\nApril Allen\, President & CEO of Southern Gateway Park\n\nModerator: \n\nMelissa Barry\, Chief Program Officer\, Downtown Austin Alliance

SUMMARY:Sweat Equity: An ecology of everyday life on a warming planet
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will demonstrate a means for understanding everyday challenges facing those disproportionately impacted by extreme climate-induced events\, such as heat waves\, wildfire smoke\, and pluvial flooding. Drawing on cases from Los Angeles\, Jackson\, MS\, and the Portland metropolitan region\, the presentation will exhibit the promise in an evidence-based framework that contextualizes the emerging factors that amplify extreme weather events. \nThis work is rooted in the Sustaining Urban Places Research Lab at Portland State University\, which fosters collaboration\, interdisciplinary research\, and community engagement\, and stands as a model for advancing a community-centered approach to building resilience and adaptation within small and large communities. \nYou can RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Ready\, Set\, Plant! at Southeast Shores
