Infill development, as the words imply, is the process of filling in gaps in already developed urban areas. It involves increasing urban density, improving antiquated public facilities, new mixes of activities and land use. It involves more urban design emphasis than traditional land use planning.

Seven of the people most responsible for planning the infill development of central Knoxville will talk about their plans for the Broadway and Central avenue area, the South South Knoxville waterfront, Cumberland Avenue and Magnolia Avenue. Infill development of these
areas , along with the current successes of revitalization in the Fourth and Gill neighborhood, Old North Knoxville and Mechanicsville can create, in effect, a whole “new town in-town” in Knoxville.

Michael Carberry, Comprehensive Planning Manager for Metropolitan Planning Commission, will introduce the topic and the projects. Maps and drawings of the projects will be exhibited. Other presenters will
be Bob Whetsel, Director of Redevelopment , City of Knoxville; David Hill, Senior Director of South Waterfront Development; Mike Reynolds and Jeff Archer, Metropolitan Planning Commission Planners; Anne
Wallace, Cumberland Avenue Project Manager and Jacene England, President of the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

City Council members Bob Becker and Joe Hultquist who represent parts of the City involved in the projects will attend to participate in discussion following the presentation.
