Re-imagining Waller Creek through Downtown Austin

How do you design a public space that unites nature, culture and community?

Peter Mullan will lead a discussion of the ambitious plan to revitalize 35 acres of public open space in downtown Austin; taking a forgotten riparian landscape and transforming it into a world-class natural amenity and cultural destination for all of Austin.
