This guided walk through Charlottesville’s streets and neighborhoods invites participants to observe the built environment through the lens of classical virtues—truth, beauty, and justice—or Vitruvius’ principles of firmness, commodity, and delight. By engaging with the city’s architecture and urban spaces, attendees will explore how design shapes community identity, equity, and sustainability.
The walk will highlight the essential role of public participation in shaping a city's future, emphasizing that meaningful community input fosters trust and investment in physical change. Additionally, it will examine how public trust in government and institutions depends on their ability to deliver tangible, equitable, and sustainable improvements. Through this immersive experience, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between visioning, development, and the shared responsibility of creating a just and beautiful city.
