While Dallas has seen rapid development of multi-family a nd mixed-use projects in neighborhoods already zoned for them\, we are als o seeing these types of developments being built in zones previously desig nated as single-family lots. \nIn a city that has fiercely protected its s ingle-family culture\, how will residential development address the balanc e between single-family and multi-family in equitable\, sustainable\, and meaningful ways? What IS the future of the single-family typology\, and h ow can we be a city that addresses the needs of the many while remaining e conomically healthy? Join us as we discuss the policies\, design thinking\ , and initiatives surrounding the important questions of housing in the sh ifting needs and demographics of Dallas. \n MODERATOR \n Kate Aoki\, AIA \ , is an architect and the Head of Exhibition Design at the Dallas Museum o f Art.
