Join AIA Columbus and Columbus 2020 at our February Design Lecture. Columbus is expected to double its population by 2050 and a significant proportion will occur as densification of established urban areas. Community and business leaders came together to collaborate on ways to develop a growth strategy to ensure economic vitality. Columbus 2020 set aggressive goals to achieve by 2020 in order to be recognized as a national leader in economic development. You will hear about the strategies to achieve this goal and how architects can play a major role in the development of Columbus.
