Episode 24: From Malls to Mixed-Use: City of Huntsville’s Dennis Madsen on the Vision Behind Huntsville’s Urban Transformation
In this episode of The Makers of MidCity Podcast, we sit down with Dennis Madsen, Manager of Urban and Long-Range Planning for the City of Huntsville, to explore how collaboration between city planning and private development is redefining growth in Huntsville.
From the transformation of the former regional mall site into the vibrant MidCity District to the city’s long-term investments in walkability, greenways, and transit-oriented development, this conversation highlights the power of proactive planning and public-private partnership.
Dennis shares insight into Huntsville’s “polycentric city” approach—building multiple connected hubs where people can live, work, and play—along with updates on major connectivity projects like the SkyBridge, the PARC corridor, and new greenway expansions linking neighborhoods across the city.
🎧 Tune in to hear how Huntsville is planning for the next 20 years of smart, connected, and sustainable growth—one sidewalk, bike path, and district at a time.
