Gideon Toal worked directly with the Cultural District Development Initiatives, Inc. (CDDI), an organization made up of business and landowners within the West 7th Street Urban Village, to create the West 7th Street Urban Village Development Standards and Guidelines. The West 7th Street Urban Village, which was designated as a part of the City of Fort Worth’s Urban Village Program, is centrally located just west of Downtown Fort Worth and immediately adjacent to the renowned Cultural District. Surrounding the area are several established neighborhoods and new mixed-use developments.
