Tracy Gabriel works at repairing urban environments. As president and executive director of the National Landing Business Improvement District in Northern Virginia, she puts her experience as an urbanist, planner and place-maker to work, daily, leading the ongoing makeover of the Crystal City with over $8B in private investment in the pipeline. Designed using the best practice principles for the 1970s, it is a car-centric development, dense with generic mid-rise towers, tied together with pedestrian tunnels and an underground mall. And Tracy's job is to turn this inward-looking place ... into an outward-looking one. Which means walkable, livable and vibrant at street level is the goal.  This is a conversation you should not miss.
