Urbanization is the process through which cities typically grow\, and higher and higher percentages of the population come to live. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mixed-use developments\, a type of urban development that blends multiple uses\, such as residential\, commercial\, cultural\, institutional\, or entertainment\, into one space and represents most projects critical to creating public amenities. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n How developers and planners will address concerns about the impact of urbanization and water quality and quantity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n It’s all about creative and adaptive reuse that spans economic\, social\, and ecological benefits. Selected benefits include sustainability\, addressing carbon burdens in the built environment and reusing existing materials and infrastructure\, avoiding new-construction costs\, and low acquisition costs. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Why the retail landscape is undergoing significant shifts due to changing consumer behaviors\, the continued immersion of e-commerce into our daily lives\, and how retail spaces’ re-purposing benefits our communities. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Held October 25th at FGCU’s Cohen Student Center Ballroom\, the forum highlighted the initiatives in place and under consideration for developing the Greater Estero area. FGCU Professor Shelton Weeks moderated a four-member panel about these initiatives and what steps could be completed to improve the vision and objectives. The forum was sponsored by Greg Tolley\, Executive Director of FGCU’s Water School. \nThe meeting was recorded and watched by an additional 780 residents during the two weeks following its release. If you want to view the meeting recording\, please click here. \nAttendees and panel members noted the difficulties of the current and future traffic congestion on East Corkscrew Road and Coconut Road (West.)   Village Manager Steve Sarkozy\, a panel member\, detailed what efforts are being considered on these challenges. He also discussed current plans for future projects. \nEngage Estero’s management team prepared several recommendations for consideration that emerged during the forum: \n\nThe Village needs to encourage public input much earlier for planned developments and recreational changes being considered\, as panel member Jim Wallace suggested.\nThe Village often takes a “hard line” to achieve the acceptable Village requirements from developers to fit the vision for the Village. But there is a need for a more cohesive vision for the Village that takes account of all the developments and how they can enhance our community holistically.\nIt was suggested that the Village consider engaging with a planner or company with a proven track record in “thinking outside the box” to put forward their vision of what Estero will need to meet our future requirements. This does not imply that Village management is doing a poor job but that outside perspectives can provide a broader vision\, considering potential shifts in the behavior and needs of the public.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Hosts\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Aysegul Timur\, Opening Remarks\n President of FGCU \n Aysegul Timur\, Ph.D.\, was selected to become Florida Gulf Coast University’s fifth president on May 4\, 2023\, and was confirmed by the Florida Board of Governors on June 22\, 2023.
