Hear some words about the event from one of the event's panelists!

When Jim Rouse founded Columbia, MD in 1963, his vision for a pedestrian and community-oriented town ignited a flame that would inspire hundreds of master-planned communities across the U.S. and would become a core pillar of Howard Hughes Holdings Inc.’s development ethos.    At Howard Hughes, we are proud to be delivering on the vision for Downtown Columbia. Inspired by Jim Rouse’s transformative principles for urban planning, we know future-forward communities are ones where residents have everything they need at their fingertips – boundless greenspace with public art, activated event spaces to build community, a short commute to work and a quality place to call home.    Read more about Downtown Columbia and Jim Rouse’s influence in this piece from The Houston Chronicle: https://lnkd.in/e3pirQKu
