For three days eight architects, designers and other experts from around the country are working to come up with how the future of the South Shore Central District should look.
"To really create a great place that is not Downtown but it's not a neighborhood, has it's own identity and is a special place that people could really be proud of," said Joel Mills with the Center for Communities by design.
The district includes about 100 acres. It's from South 1st Street to Newning Avenue and the Shoreline to just south of Riverside Ave. It's prime real estate that the city says is 80 percent private and closed off to the public. Instead city staff says the future of Austin includes a more accessible Lady Bird Lake.
