You are invited to join the Charlotte Urban Design Center and Charlotte Center City Partners for the South End Urban Design Walking Tour. We will explore the South End and learn the principles of urban design while seeing how urban development has shaped the public realm.

The tour will start with a short presentation about the principles of urban design at the South End Studio from UDC staff. Afterwards walk with UDC and CCCP staff as they lead an hour-long walking tour around the South End, look at exciting development projects, and see how urban design impacts the built environment. During the tour, we will stop at a local business where we will give all attendees a free treat. Then we head back to the South End Studio and will end with a debrief discussion.
