One of the most dominant forms of development to emerge during the past two decades was the suburban strip mall. Many of these projects have experienced declining revenues but their locations offer the best opportunities for infill development.

These properties may offer excellent settings for mixed-use or high-density residential development. ULI (Urban Land Institute) has conducted extensive research on the opportunities for communities and owners to transform these strips into vibrant, community assets. Michael Pawlukiewicz, ULI Environment & Policy Education Director will present the results of this nationwide study.  Randal Jackson, ASLA, President of The Planning Center in Costa Mesa , California , will moderate a panel of local participants as they discuss efforts in West Valley City to reposition the 3500 South Corridor. Joseph Moore, Community Development Director for West Valley City , will be joined by representatives from UDOT, UTA and Carter Burgess Engineers as they discuss a new approach that brings “Contextual Sensitive Design” to state roads within our communities. All attendees will receive a copy of the ULI publication “Ten Principles for Reinventing America's Suburban Strips” as part of the registration fee.
