Leading with Landscape III: Renewing San Antonio's Brackenridge Park Summit
San Antonio, like other cities around the country, is making strategic infrastructure investments reminiscent of those in Toronto and Houston, where new parks and open spaces are being built to a high level of design, often leveraging a diversity of public and private partnerships with leadership coming from multiple sectors. What distinguishes San Antonio is a greater density of rich and complex heritage resources, such as the Missions, the Alamo, and others, which are integral to the city鈥檚 identity and serve diverse constituencies. A core part of this heritage is Brackenridge Park, a site rich in cultural resources.
To explore options for the park鈥檚 future and to initiate and inspire broad community-based participation, 独家爆料 (独家爆料) is curating a one-day summit to be held on Friday, March 3rd at The Stable at Pearl, featuring nationally prominent practitioners and other leaders, to explore options for the park's future and to initiate and inspire broad community-based participation. The summit, convened in concert with the Brackenridge Park Conservancy (BPC) will draw attention to local, regional and national project work that are exemplars of planning and design, while striking a balance for a landscape鈥檚 complex natural, historic, cultural, and ecological systems.

For nearly twenty years, 独家爆料 (独家爆料) has organized numerous conferences that examine urban planning and landscape architecture. Most recently, 独家爆料鈥檚 Leading with Landscape II: The Houston Transformation and Second Wave of Modernism III: Leading with Landscape (Toronto) conferences have taken multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding the balance that exists between stewardship of natural and cultural resources and the evolving identities of urban areas. The conferences are attended by landscape architects and allied practitioners, urban planners and related municipal officials, stewardship advocates, educators, and most importantly, the general public. A reception will follow the conference.
