The New Urban Fabric: Balancing Growth and Heritage | 6:45 PM – 9:00 PM

Members FREE | $20 nonmembers

Urban planning today looks very different than it did even twenty-five years ago, shaped by shifting demographics and a nationwide housing shortage. Communities like Salem are grappling with an important question: how do we preserve our historic fabric and character while also responding to the pressures of growth? Join HSI at the historic Hawthorne Hotel in downtown Salem for a conversation that explores the evolving relationship between development and preservation—and what it may mean for Salem’s future.

HOST
David Dixon | Vice President, Urban Places, Stantec

PANELISTS
Steven G. Gerrard | Principal, Annum Architects
Mark Pasnik | Founding Partner & Architect, OverUnder
Sarah Scott | Senior Regional Land Use and Historic Preservation Planner for Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC)

Event reception begins at 6:45 pm with hors d’oevres and a cash bar. The conversation starts at 7:30 pm.
