As Hamilton’s historic lower city manages an exciting period of development and redevelopment, Architecture + Commerce brings together an expert panel to share professional and personal insights on how architecture and design can help grow and drive the local economy. How does inspired urban architecture and design contribute to local prosperity and quality of life? What’s the ROI on creative place making?
