InterUrban Series

In 2017, as part of our educational programming, Historic Seale continues its popular InterUrban series, which seeks to engage broad audiences and inspire conversations about achieving more livable communities through preservation. The series connects historic preservation to urban planning and policy discussions impacting our region such as aordability, equitable development, social justice, sustainability, and neighborhood density. One of the outcomes is greater awareness about the opportunities and challenges that Seale faces as it looks to the future. If you are an Historic Seale member or have asked to be kept informed, you will receive information about upcoming events via our periodic printed Preservation News, monthly e-news, Facebook page, and blog.
