Mpact Innovators Presents: Walking Tour – Urban Transformation in the Taylor Paseo District

Join this lunch time walk for a firsthand look at urban transformation in downtown Phoenix, from skyline to streetscape. Visit a downtown park – a public oasis. Find out how the YMCA is providing heat relief, daycare and transitional housing. Learn about the city’s Paseo plan, which is fostering connectivity and accessibility by breaking down large blocks into more walkable and amiable spaces. Hear about affordable senior housing initiatives. Check out new bike lanes and scramble crosswalks. It’s all part of the city’s ongoing efforts to transform Phoenix into a city that truly puts its people first.
