StreetSmart has more on the honor from the American Planning Association:
Downtown Plano, as a leader in suburban downtown revitalization, represents a shifting tide where downtowns are no longer single purpose CBDs or simply for quaint antique shopping. Instead, as the award suggests, downtowns are for living again. Where old and new fit together seamlessly and cooperatively towards making for a better place for residents, workers, and experience for visitors.
