Bipartisan Placemaking: Reaching Conservatives session

3:45 PM to 5:00 PM in Grand Ballroom A

Community building, placemaking, traditional neighborhood design. Good urbanism should hold a deep appeal across the political spectrum, but too often gets roadblocked by unproductive stereotypes. The American Conservative magazine joins CNU co-founder Andres Duany and Strong Towns' Chuck Marohn in a discussion on how to bridge the urbanism divide and how to engage community-oriented conservatives at the local and national levels.

NextGen Debates

The NextGen debates return to their edgy roots. We start at 8:30 PM in Grand Ballroom A. Audience voting so be there and be heard.

Auto-based New Urbanism was a mistake.

Affirmative: Kristin Jeffers and Edward Erfurt

Sprawl Retrofit is a pleasant concept, but is not a viable solution to widespread sprawl.
