The new AT&T Performing Arts Center, sprawling across 10 acres of lawn, is big by any standard. The Arts District to which it will be officially joined Monday is the largest in the country.
Yet the entire 68-acre district represents only about 8 percent of Dallas' downtown.
Therein lies the city's biggest challenge in the long march toward revitalizing the center city.
Local urban planners note that the AT&T center is just one of several significant developments happening – or about to happen downtown.
Blocks away from the Arts District, another urban park is nearing completion, several new restaurants are preparing to open and a new hotel just came online. And many more projects are in the works.
