How can San Antonio grow while protecting its land and communities? This exhibition by faculty and students at UT San Antonio’s School of Architecture + Planning explores how multifamily infill housing along VIA Metropolitan Transit’s proposed Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) corridors could meet the city’s 25-year housing need without paving new land or displacing existing residents. Using maps, data visualizations, and housing design prototypes, it reimagines aging commercial corridors as vibrant, connected neighborhoods.

Exhibition Opening: 4:00 p.m. December 9, 2025.
Panel Discussion: 6:00–7:00 p.m.
