Coverage Of The 2006 Congress For The New Urbanism
[i]CNU At XIV[/i]
From June 1st through 4th, a cadre of 1,500 students, professionals, intellectuals, and activists descended upon Providence, Rhode Island, for the Congress for the New Urbanism's (CNU) fourteenth annual conference, "Developing the New Urbanism: Implementation", covered by Planetizen Correspondent Mike Lydon.
According to Lydon, Congress highlights included:
* A lecture by Andres Duany "citing the superiority of the CNU as an elite, but open organization that is pragmatically engaged in the
'business of the long run'...Duany delivered a swift and impassioned Kunstlerian diatribe on the eventual futility of America's economic
and social arrangements, the work of the CNU organization in a Katrina-torn Gulf Coast, the urban wonders of New York City, and the
coming inevitability of the New Urbanism."
* "The final lecture given by CNU co-founder Dan Solomon, entitled 'Whatever Happened to Modernity?' Calling for a more holistic approach
to urban design and architecture, Solomon delivered an absolutely brilliant speech on elegant modern design and its role throughout the
early 20th century."
