Imagining a Better South Keys Centre

What does it take to turn a big-box plaza into a vibrant, mixed-use community, and why is community involvement essential to its success? Join Matt and Laura from Better South Keys Centre for a guided walk of South Keys Shopping Centre, where we'll discuss themes of affordable housing, active transportation, transit service, interesting architecture, and preserving natural elements.
