This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 05/16/2023, 09/26/2023, and 02/27/2024. Attendees of the previously offered presentations, RV-W051623, RV-W092623 or RV-W022724, will not receive CEU for attending the 07/23/2024 presentation.

This two-hour webinar introduces the urban design concept and practice of planning a city for day and night-time use. Current urban planning concepts are tailored almost exclusively to regulate daytime functions. This means, intentionally or not, night-time urban planning principles implemented to protect the safety of people and enhance vibrant night-time economies are overlooked. This creates tension between the day use sector of offices, schools, and retail establishments with the economically thriving night sector of bars, restaurants, music venues and movie theaters. This webinar will explore the successes and failures of case study communities that plan and operate for both day and night-time sectors.

Note: This is a live webinar delivered via GoToWebinar. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call Customer Support (1-866-546-1212) the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive.
