Vacant storefronts are becoming ubiquitous on main streets around the world. How did we get here? And how can we ensure the ground floors of our cities remain vibrant, active community spaces over the long term? In the second season of the Sidewalk Labs podcast City of the Future, hosts Eric Jaffe and Vanessa Quirk explore an idea that could help address this crisis — and embed flexibility into the ground floor itself.
Join Vanessa at CultureHouse to learn more about issues and stories she encountered in reporting this story. After an overview of the episode, she'll lead a panel discussion on vacant storefronts with leaders including her colleague Carrie Denning Jackson, a Director on the Development team at Sidewalk Labs.
