About This Event

The Portico, 1001 North Florida Avenue,
How The Built Environment Drives Civic Engagement
Garrett Greco, Tampa Bay Developer Podcast

Speaker Description of The Discussion:
This talk explores how the built environment shapes civic life — from land development codes and infrastructure to buildings, streets, and small businesses. When people feel more connected to the places around them, they are more likely to care about their neighborhoods, participate in local issues, and take ownership of the future of their city.
