The CityBuilding Exchange is taking learning on the road May 12-16, 2018 with the CityBuilding Express (CBX), an intensive tour of over 20 innovative neighborhoods/developments that highlight best practices and how to implement them— with the assistance of local experts and leading practitioners who will be on the tour with you. After visiting each city, the participants will discuss and identify the lessons to learn from each place as we drive to the next city. This is the perfect hands-on learning environment for community leaders wanting to enhance their knowledge of how to improve their city in a compressed amount of time.
