Bonjour San Jose: Lessons from High Speed Rail in France

Lunchtime Forum

While some U.S. regions have made great strides in promoting coordinated transportation and land use planning, some municipalities in France have invested in city-building and placemaking efforts at a much more impressive scale. Hear how French cities like Lille and Metz have used the development of bold transit projects to invigorate economies and rebuild neighborhoods and learn how the U.S. might be inspired to do the same.
