10. Shreveport’s Historic Music Village
Our Vision
“A cool place for
knowledge workers”
…to support and nurture a dynamic, vibrant community of artists,
media producers, educators and other professionals eager to employ
technology to reach a global audience with entertainment products
based on our deep traditions of Southern music.
11. Austin provides a model for the
Shreveport-Bossier region to follow
No region in the past
few decades has
moved as quickly into
the top ranks of
technology regions as
Austin. The city
actively cultivated its
music scene as part of
its high tech strategy.

Inventing the Future
• Campus Environment
• Identity – strong gateways, street corridors & edges
• Range of housing choices
• Mix of uses – tech clusters, urban village,
commercial centers & residential neighborhoods
• Compact Development Patterns – density & diversity
• Alternative modes of transportation
• Shared drainage detention / retention features
• Shared & unobtrusive parking
• Quality open space amenities & pedestrian preference
• Nurture connections & collaborations
