Come to Chautauqua to meet the activists, developers, professionals and local officials who are leveraging the region’s resources, infrastructure and setting to uncover the diamonds in the Rust Belt and make their communities better.
Who should go?
- Activists interested in smart growth, sustainable policies and practices,
- Architects
- Planners interested in smart code and context sensitive solutions
- Developers interested in financing and marketing the best projects
- Local officials, in New York State and nearby states and provinces
- New Urbanists from all over the country
...And anyone interested in the redevelopment potential of regions such as:
- Upstate New York
- Northern Ohio
- Lower Michigan
- Western Pennsylvania
- The Great Lakes region
Chautauqua is a lakeside resort community, over 100 years old, southwest of Buffalo. Chautauqua was an inspiration to the first generation of New Urbanists in their search for traditional town plans. CNU 22, our national congress, will be sited in Buffalo for 2014 and this retreat kicks off activity for this national event.
Expect a relaxed program with plenty of time for conversation, organizing and networking, featuring marquee speakers, as well as local activists and professionals. This is an opportunity to learn about New Urbanism and get involved in the region where we will meet in 2014.
