In this episode, we dive into the future of urban development in Orlando with a focus on creating community-friendly spaces where people want to live, work, and play. Our guest from Kimley-Horn, Nathan Milch shares insights on the latest trends in urban planning, including the move towards pedestrian-friendly mixed-use developments that reduce reliance on cars.

This episode discusses the new zoning codes, like Orange County's Vision 2050 are promoting placemaking and reducing car dependency. This includes moving away from traditional single-family subdivisions towards integrated communities with residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. We also touch on the challenges and complexities of urban planning, such as balancing the needs for public transit and infrastructure investment.

Join Ginny and Nathan Milch as we envision a better, more connected Orlando that meets the needs of its residents and creates thriving communities for the future.
