New Urbanism for New Yorkers

Wednesday • February 25 • 6:30 PM
New Urbanism for New Yorkers

For the first time, Regional Plan Association and the Congress for New Urbanism's New York Chapter partner with the Museum of the City of New York for a timely discussion about urban design theories and their effects on climate change, quality of life and the economy.

President of RPA Robert Yaro will discuss the effects of new urbanism, transit-oriented development, LEED-ND and smart growth in the New York metropolitan region and offer his suggestions for moving forward in this tough economic time. CNU President John Norquistwill comment with his own thoughts about how New York's urbanism positions it for future success and how the nation as a whole can benefit from the techniques of new urbanism. The evening will begin with an introduction of the region's New Urbanist precedents, including Jersey City, Forest Hills, Queens, Battery Park City and more.

After the event, join us for a 30-minute informal discussion and networking opportunity.

Refreshments will be served.
