Norm Van Eeden Petersman, Strong Towns Director of Membership, will be speaking about The Cost of Sprawl and the Case for Missing Middle Housing at in San Antonio, Texas at a Leadership Luncheon hosted by ULI San Antonio.

LOCATION: The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts

DATE: September 10, 2025  |  TIME: 12:00 p.m. CST

Join us for a thoughtful and solutions-oriented luncheon exploring the landscape of housing development in our region with Norm Van Eeden Petersman of Strong Towns. This event will delve into the long-term impacts of suburban sprawl while highlighting the complementary role of high-density and “missing middle” housing in creating resilient, inclusive, fiscally responsible communities.
Rather than elevating one housing product over another, this conversation embraces a “Yes, and” approach to solving our housing deficit — recognizing that single-family homes, multifamily developments, townhomes, ADUs, affordable and market-rate units, for-rent and owner-occupied options all play vital roles in meeting our region’s diverse housing needs.

Through expert insights and real-world case studies, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of why urban infill and density — though often more complex and costly to develop — are essential tools in the broader housing toolkit. This is an opportunity to explore how thoughtful planning, and policy can support a balanced, sustainable future for San Antonio. Reserve your spot today!
