Libby is traveling to New Orleans for the AIA 2011 National Convention and Design Exposition. Libby's session ("Using Public Private Partnerships to Encourage Urban Infill Development") is a collaborative effort between Libby and Steven Meyers (of CaP3i), Peter Stanley and Mitch Conner (of Archilogix), and Michael Strogoff (of Strogoff Consulting).
Here's a bit of the program abstract...
The national recession has had a profound effect on the ability of municipalities and regions to invest in transportation, utilities and social infrastructure despite universal agreement of this urgent need. While Public-Private Partnerships have a long proven record internationally, leveraging long-term private sector investment to socially benefit the public is a fairly new phenomenon in the US.
