Smart Growth Social has been our most popular party of the year! Of course, this year it will take place over Zoom, but we all feel the need to reconnect with friends and allies in our community in these strange and difficult times. To be restored and inspired to take action for more sustainable and inclusive communities.

Our special guest speaker will be Beth Osborne, Director of Transportation for America, the transportation arm of Smart Growth America. A former Acting Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy at USDOT, with extensive experience on the Hill, Beth has led her team to produce groundbreaking studies of American transportation and advocate for critical reforms. As we strive for a better future, we need a new federal transportation program that prioritizes transit, safe streets, racial equity, health, and fighting climate change. In a rapid-paced 15 minutes, Beth will lay out our call to action!

But we also know you also come to Smart Growth Social for the networking with fellow creative and committed supporters of better communities. So, we’ll have: 

1) Breakouts to give us all a chance to catch-up and share stories. 

2) A photo contest featuring your favorite examples of placemaking, safe streets, good urban design, mixed-income housing and more.
