Rather than proposing either a nostalgic retrospective, or a portrait of a struggling downtown, the presentation will highlight the city's strength and resources. It will also highlight the interaction between the University of Notre Dame and the City of South Bend. The presentation will focus on the making and un -making of downtown South Bend, and will outline ways in which South Bend can develop a sustainable urban future." 05/10/2012 5:40P: Special Meeting (HPC Conference Room).
