Fast Facts:

*         The Durham City-County Planning Department is seeking resident
and stakeholder input and guidance in crafting Durham's first-ever Urban
Open Space Plan. Once completed, the plan will address open space needs
in Durham's Downtown, Compact Neighborhood, and Urban Tiers.

the plan and is the second in a series of events geared toward
generating ideas and information on how residents and visitors live,
work, and play in downtown Durham. During the charrette, participants
will be asked to describe what physical qualities appeal or detract from
use as open space as well as locate potential open spaces in the
downtown area.
