New
Urbanist communities have sprung up all across the United States. From Oregon
to Florida, developers, governments and residents sing the praises of new towns
built on neotraditional principles. New Urbanists tout regionalism, open space,
and pedestrian scale ?not to mention front porches, walkable downtowns and the
sense of place that have become icons of their movement.
But what can the New Urbanism do for built-out areas like the Westside? Does its take on how to plan, design and regulate building activities offer an opportunity for the Westside to create a better future? Or does New Urbanism simply provide developers and cities with a new language for selling the same old products? Please join us in welcoming one of the nation's leading proponents of New Urbanism, a prominent land-use expert who is less convinced, and well-versed representatives of the public and private sectors for a fascinating exploration of how - and if - New Urbanist principles and practices can successfully be applied in Westside communities.
