“You Say You Want a Revolution”
– Speaker: Andres Duany
The principles of new urban design radically changed the way we think about what makes a good place to live. Mixed use, pedestrian friendly design took us away from the isolation of our automobile and set the stage for human connection...but is it enough? The next revolution in building better communities melds design with new community self-governance methods, communications technology and other techniques to break down barriers and overcome apathy.
