Rollins College , Winter Park , Florida

Program Schedule | New Urbanism 101

The first CNU Florida Statewide Meeting will be held at Rollins College in downtown Winter Park on the 13th and 14th of January 2005.

As a prelude, the Chapter will also offer an “New Urbanism 101” at the Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College Wednesday, January 12th.

The Statewide Meeting seeks to bridge the gap between the annual CNU national Congress and the regional group gatherings that have begun to occur regularly throughout Florida. The Meeting is an opportunity for CNU members from around the state to come together to debate issues of regional or statewide concern and to learn about the latest ideas, findings and projects.

A primary theme of this year’s Meeting is Nolen Rediscovered, as a backdrop to the discussion we’ll examine the work of pioneering American town planner John Nolen, its historical importance to Florida, and its relevance to today’s planning and development. The Chapter plans to publish a Nolen’s Florida booklet as a handout for the event. In addition, there will be two case studies presented and discussed, one addressing successful downtown redevelopment, and the other addressing brownfield development in the close-in suburbs.

A highlight of the event will be Thursday evening, which is slated to include a reception and a presentation by the internationally renowned historian of art, architecture and urbanism, Vincent Scully, Professor Emeritus of Art History at Yale University.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Winter Park on 13-14 January 2005.
