The Urban Institute wants an opportunity to share insights on the future of downtowns at the 2025 SXSW Conference, but we need your help to get there.
“Rethinking Downtowns in the Era of Remote Work” would be moderated by Urban president Sarah Rosen Wartell and include Urban researcher Yonah Freemark,
fair housing, land use, and transportation practice lead. The panel would highlight approaches to reenergizing America’s downtowns while emphasizing equity, the best ways to make up lost revenue and address housing shortages, and the services people need as we reimagine downtowns, including arts, transportation, and public safety.
