CNU 20

The New World confronts the challenges of peak oil, climate change, and growing wealth disparity, along with worldwide adjustments in the financial, housing, retail, transportation, and energy markets. Taken collectively, these challenges are drastically changing how we do business in the 21st Century, and opening new opportunities for the New Urbanism.

The challenges of the 21st Century engage CNU in its core mission of excellence in urban design, urban reinvestment, and town planning, by generating new ideas about development, implementation, education, coding, sustainability, and problem-solving using New Urbanist principles.

The twentieth anniversary of CNU is an optimum moment to analyze our mission and practices.

Rediscover, rethink, and redefine the Congress, once again making it the most influential planning event in the US and the world.
