"What would the responses have been like for the other set of questions? We created a survey using them. It uses the same language as the draft questions, with a few changes to account for technological limitations and to ascertain the council districts of those responding. You can take it here."

"The Dallas City Council will receive a first phase of briefings about City Hall tomorrow."

Is Dallas City Hall Plaza protected park land? That question may lead to a legal battle

โ€œCity Hall Plaza is not a commercial real estate commodity. It is a voter-funded public park & the preeminent public square for community assembly in Dallas.โ€

Texas Local Government Code 253.001(b): Prohibits the sale of any public square or park unless approved by a majority of Dallas voters at an election.

I.M. Pei on City Hall and preservation.

"I am unhappy about the fact that our society seems to be much more inclined to build something for a short time and then tear them down. I think this self-disposable society of ours is not conducive to doing good architecture, and this I am unhappy about. Why is Paris so beautiful? Because the buildings were well-built, were built to last. Thatโ€™s the difference. And we donโ€™t, and this I regret.โ€

Dallas Built City Hall After a Dark Chapter โ€” Don't Erase That History

"[W]e stepped out onto the plaza and the whole vision unfolded: a public gathering space for โ€œwe the people.โ€

"I stood at the foundation of City Hall, the concrete building blocks that reached overhead and out to the citizens, creating a covered front porch with windows that reflected the citizenry."
