Move & Mingle: Hermann Park Walk + Conversation

Move & Mingle: Hermann Park Walk + Conversation is built for folks who care deeply about Houston’s neighborhoods and the small-scale, ground-level projects that reshape them. This is not a tour; it’s a shared walk, a conversation in motion. We’ll move ~1.5–2 miles through park paths, pause when something catches our eye, ask questions, sketch, ideate. Then gather over refreshments to talk further. If you build, design, or advocate for small-scale, human-centered development — this is your kind of connection.

Learning Objectives:

• Experience spatial transitions, scale change, thresholds, and walkability in situ
• Unpack challenges and opportunities in small scale development & community revitalization (infill, lot splits, ADUs, duplexes)
• Sketch or map ideas in context, exchange on-the-ground insight
• Build connections casually—with people who understand the work
• Spark project ideas, collaborations, or simply fresh perspectives

Who Should Attend:

Small-scale developers, architects, urbanists, planners, community builders, realtors interested in infill, accessory dwellings, gentle density — anyone who wants to see and talk about development at human scale.
