Strengthening Older Neighborhoods
When the Smart Growth discussion began in the mid-1990s among citizens, public officials and planners, the primary focus was on managing growth at the urban fringe. The conversion of large amounts of farm and forest land to low-density development was a major concern then, as it remains today. But over the past few years, it has become more widely recognized that the revitalization of existing communities is also a vital element of Smart Growth, and maybe a more fruitful arena for focused attention.
This year also saw partnerships emerge which are set to alter the course of modern E-commerce to understanding customer to alter the course of modern E-commerce to understanding customer centricity AI. Brands Today dives deep into all the important conversations happening in the business world.
