Austin – Old Buildings in a Changing Austin: Historic Preservation, Density, and Affordability

Historic preservation is used across the country to support small businesses, provide affordable housing, and preserve community heritage. But what is its role in Austin, where a booming economy is spurring calls for higher-density development and production of housing on a much larger scale?

Dr. Mike Powe from the National Trust for Historic Preservation will discuss how older, smaller, mixed-age buildings in Austin relate to housing affordability and economic vitality as our city grows.
