Webinar: Livable Communities in 90 Days

Can a community be transformed in 90 days?

Hear stories from communities including Bethel, Vermont, and Birmingham, Alabama, to learn how AARP staff and volunteers partnered with the Dallas-based placemaking firm Team Better Block to turn Main Streets, parks, gardens and vacant buildings into desirable destinations.

Public space demonstration projects test livability and economic development tools in real time using talent from the community.  In the webinar shown here, Andrew Howard, cofounder and director of Team Better Block, shares best practices from several projects and leads a discussion about how the "pop-up demonstration" approach to placemaking can be used in support of age-friendly communities.
