Last week, 85 planners, real estate professionals, and civic leaders attended the Changing Nature of Suburbs conference, sponsored by the Tulsa chapter of the Urban Land Institute and the OU Society of Urban Design Students. Pictured above, from left to right, are moderator Bruce Bolzle and speakers Todd Zimmerman, Ward Davis, and David Dixon. It was a great discussion on what lies ahead for suburbs and how we can navigate our changing (sub)urban contexts. Thank you to all who attended!
