Your knowledge and presence is needed to discuss the future of Southern Nevada as a Livable and Sustainable Community. This concentrated around-the-clock design charrette is a unique opportunity for the public, business and civic leaders to join with architects and design professionals in a collaborative effort to identify problematic issues, develop and create potential solutions and initiate a more sustainable and livable future for our city. And yes, the 24-hour Charrette is actually a full 24 hours, but don't let that scare you because the charrette will! be exciting and fun! The 24-hour Town Hall Meeting is open to all members of the community.
The local Las Vegas chapter of the AIA has chosen to conduct a 24-hour Town Hall Meeting / Design Charrette, based on the core objectives of the "Blue Print for America" initiative, in support of the AIA 150 nation wide celebration.
This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with a diverse and creative group of local community members to help identify local livable community issues, develop and elaborate on potential solutions to the issues, and present those findings to a prominent group of local leaders and decision makers.
The subject and focus of the 24-hour Town Hall Meeting will be on how to make Las Vegas a more livable community. The results of this 24-hour "ideas" session will be later memorialized in a "Blueprint for Nevada" document (one section for Reno and one section for Las Vegas) which will be presented to the Governor and/or public officials at the end of 2007.

1. RESOURCES (Water, Energy, Utilities, Communications)

3. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
4. EDUCATION
5. SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE & WELLNESS
6. ARTS & CULTURE
7. HOUSING
