| URBAN LAND INSTITUTE UTAH - 2018 UPCOMING EVENTS |
| | JANUARY PROGRAM - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17 Trip Generation, Shared Parking, and a Tour of the Hale Center Theatre With the tremendous growth we are experiencing along the Wasatch Front, compact and walkable developments are becoming more desirable for a variety of reasons. One major challenge that traditional development faces in dense development nodes has been the need to balance the market demand for parking and cost of construction. Through University of Utah professor, Dr. Reid Ewing's work evaluating peer projects, he and his colleagues have gained a better understanding of the impacts and correlation of trip generation, shared parking, and compact design. Dr. Ewing will present his findings, as well as a wealth of knowledge based on TOD design in Utah. In addition, Sandy City has been a pioneer in the suburban redevelopment over the past decade as they have incorporated shared parking, walkability, and transit improvements to increase the livability of its downtown core. Nick Duerksen, Economic Development Director for Sandy City, has been instrumental in the oversight the City has used within the Cairns District to increase economic vitality and vibrancy. He will highlight some of the points from Dr. Ewing's study which have been implemented into the City's plan, and specifically the Mountain America Credit Union and Hale Center Theatre Block. Join ULI Utah and APA Utah for a discussion on suburban growth and planning in Sandy City through Transit Oriented Developments (TOD), shared parking, and trip generation. Along with this discussion, breakfast and a tour of the new Hale Center Theatre will be offered. Schedule 7:30 – 8:00am: Registration and Networking 8:00 - 9:00am: Program 9:00 – 9:30am: Hale Center Theatre Tour |

| | With walkable, mixed-use real estate now in high demand as an economic engine for cities, metropolitan governments are reexamining how to build productive, resilient urban places to attract young talent, aging demographics, and new employment sectors. A crucial factor in their development is diversity—not just diversity of residents, but in housing, transportation, and workplace choices. "Missing Middle" was coined by Daniel Parolek of Opticos Design, Inc. in 2010 to define a range of multi-unit or clustered housing types compatible in scale with single-family homes that help meet the growing demand for walkable urban living.
