Dallas Urbanists STLC

Join Dallas Urbanists and your neighbors for a Hyperlocal Conversation in Brentwood / Trinity Heights!

Our Hyperlocal Conversations bring residents together to talk about the places they live, the changes happening around them, and what they want their neighborhoods to become. These gatherings create space for people to share local knowledge, raise concerns, exchange ideas, and connect with others who care about their community.

We'll discuss neighborhood priorities, transportation, connectivity, walkability, housing, public spaces, and opportunities to make Brentwood and Trinity Heights more accessible and connected.

Whether you've lived in the neighborhood for decades or are relatively new to the area, your perspective matters. We're especially interested in hearing from residents about their everyday experiences, what they value about the neighborhood, and what they would like to see improved.

Event details

• Wednesday, November 4
• 6:30–8:30 p.m.
• Smittox Brewery

Have you attended one of our previous gatherings? We'd love to see you again. If this is your first time, you're equally welcome.

We're also looking for neighbors and volunteers interested in helping spread the word and connect more residents with these conversations. Feel free to invite someone who lives nearby.

No planning experience or preparation is necessary. Just come ready to share your experiences and listen to your neighbors.

This is one of our final neighborhood gatherings of 2026 before our December break. We'll return with a new season of Hyperlocal Conversations in January 2027.

Join us for the final Cedars Hyperlocal Conversation of 2026!
We're getting together Sunday, November 8, at Full City Rooster for another afternoon of neighborhood conversation, connection, and ideas about the future of the Cedars.

This gathering will also be an opportunity to introduce and demonstrate the Idea Map walk audit tool, a resource we're developing to help residents document their experiences walking around their neighborhoods and identify places that could be safer, more comfortable, and more accessible.

We'll explore how the tool can help capture observations around places like Botham Jean Boulevard, South Akard Street, Browder Street, and the area surrounding Old City Park.

Whether you've joined us before or this will be your first time, you're welcome. Come share what you've noticed about the neighborhood, try out the tool, and connect with other people who care about the Cedars.
This will be our last Cedars gathering of the year. We'll be taking a break from neighborhood conversations in December and look forward to reconnecting in January 2027.

No preparation is needed. Just bring yourself, your questions, and your perspective on the neighborhood.

Join Dallas Urbanists, neighborhood residents, community organizations, and local decision-makers for a Hyperlocal Conversation about the future of Uptown and Oak Lawn.

Uptown and Oak Lawn are experiencing ongoing changes in housing, development, transportation, and public space. This gathering is an opportunity for residents to share their experiences, discuss neighborhood priorities, and connect with others interested in shaping the area's future.

We'll make space for conversations about:

• Walkability and pedestrian safety
• Transit access and neighborhood connectivity
• Housing affordability and development
• Public spaces and the neighborhood environment
• How planning and infrastructure decisions affect residents
• Opportunities to make Uptown and Oak Lawn more accessible, connected, and livable

We're particularly interested in hearing directly from residents about what is working, what needs attention, and what improvements would make a meaningful difference in their everyday lives.

We're also reaching out to local elected officials and community representatives to encourage their participation and hear directly from the people who live in the neighborhood.

Your participation matters. Strong community attendance helps demonstrate the level of interest residents have in these conversations and makes it easier to bring neighborhood priorities to the attention of local decision-makers. Please RSVP early and share the event with neighbors, friends, and local organizations.

Come share your perspective, meet others in the neighborhood, and help shape the conversation!
