Across America, cities face a growing challenge – and opportunity, in vacant commercial and residential spaces. How can these underutilized properties be reimagined to spark economic growth, strengthen community identity and support local creatives?
Join the National League of Cities, in partnership with Executive Partner the National Apartment Association and featured guest Zero Empty Spaces, for an inspiring conversation on how local governments, developers and artist communities work together to breathe new life into empty storefronts and idle buildings.
This webinar will spotlight innovative, replicable strategies for:
- Converting vacant spaces into affordable artist studios and cultural hubs
- Fostering public-private partnerships that stimulate downtown vitality
- Encouraging inclusive redevelopment that reflects community identity
- Strengthening the connection between housing, creative placemaking and economic resilience.
Whether you’re a city leader tackling blight, a property owner seeking new value, or a champion for the arts, this session offers real-world insights into activating space—and imagination—for stronger, more vibrant cities.
