 The second annual CNU Florida Statewide Meeting will be held at Rollins College in downtown Winter Park on the 12th and 13th of January 2006. An essential element of the state chapter’s annual activities, this Meeting seeks to bridge the gap between the annual CNU national Congress and the regional group gatherings that have occurred regularly throughout Florida.
The Meeting is an opportunity for CNU members from around the state to come together to discuss issues of regional or statewide concern, to learn about the latest ideas, findings and projects, and to network.
 The primary theme of this year’s Meeting is the link between transportation and regional planning. The discussion will examine the impact of auto-oriented transportation planning and the evolving potential to implement the New Urbanism in league with more diversified regional transportation systems. Case studies will include recent regional plans designed under the leadership of Jonathan Barnett for the Orlando Region and Andres Duany’s for the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
A highlight of the event will be the Thursday evening lecture by Robert Davis, the accomplished developer of Seaside.
