DESCRIPTION: AICP and AIA Credits - The Transect, says leading theorist and practitioner Andres Duany, is "the currency for negotiating the human place in nature." As such, it represents a breakthrough in the integration of urban and ecological sustainability. In this seminal lecture, Duany outlines the principles and applications of this important and widely-used new planning tool.
These two important keynote lectures framed the 2007 international conference on “Climate Change and Urban Design” sponsored by the Council for European Urbanism in Oslo, Norway. Ray Gindroz, chair of the Congress for the New Urbanism, defined the challenge as “Crisis, Community and Connection.” Uwe Brandes of the Urban Land Institute outlined the scientific research on Climate Change and Urbanism, and our growing understanding of the importance of urban form.

DESCRIPTION: Galina Tachieva, Victor Dover, Nathan Norris: Creating Political Will for Smart Growth Codes Galina Tachieva: Sprawl Repair Victor Dover: RFP Template for Smart Codes For some communities, the most difficult step in adopting a SmartCode is the first step; i.e., building community support for the overall effort. In this session, you will learn the 15 different core techniques for generating community support for the adoption of a SmartCode, along with examples of how those techniques have been used in other communities. Galina Tachieva: Smart Coding for Sprawl Repair Even though sprawl has proven low performance, it is still difficult to approve and finance mixed-use, walkable, and diverse projects. Furthermore, it is impossible to repair sprawl using most existing zoning practices and policies, as they are still suburban in nature. COURSE CODE: SCSGP2-2011

INSTRUCTORS: Andres Duany
DESCRIPTION: Andres Duany: Smarter Codes Smarter Growth Part 2 The Transect, Model Code and Agrarian Urbanism Andres Duany entices you to take a closer look at the Smart Code Manual as he describes its urgent relevance, simplicity of use and planning flexibility. The SmartCode is a model transect-based planning and zoning document based on environmental analysis. It addresses all scales of planning, from the region to the community to the block and building. The template is intended for local calibration to your town or neighborhood. As a form-based code, the SmartCode keeps settlements compact and rural lands open, literally reforming the sprawling patterns of separated-use zoning. He enables viewers to develop their own capabilities in writing codes for projects and municipalities and to take a leadership role using the Smart Code Manual as the tool for educating others and ones self.

DESCRIPTION: Rick Hall Jennifer Hurley Steve Mouzon Richard Hall: Transportation: Top 10 Code Issues Jennifer Hurley: Code Administration Steve Mouzon:Incorporating Sustainability into your Codes Rick Hall: Transportation: Top 10 Code Issues Over the last several decades, the desire to increase road capacity has shaped what our communities look like. Arterial roads carry the traffic from pods of different uses -- residential, commercial, civic, etc. The desire to move as many cars as fast as we can has more or less done away with the ability to safely walk or bike to meaningful destinations in suburban neighborhoods. This session addresses the key factors that are required to achieve complete streets, and once again create environments where people can walk or bike to their daily needs. Jennifer Hurley: Code Administration Implementing a form-based code is a unique process that must be tailored to each community.

The Transect illustrates the reality that all elements and scale of urbanism are connected. Our planning goal is therefore harmony between the parts. Planning at the regional scale is the most difficult to attain, although with growing globalism and the hopes of attaining local economic, social and environmental parity it is potentially the most important.

DESCRIPTION: Exciting things are happening in New York City today – changes to streetscapes, new pedestrian and civic spaces, new mixed-use projects. What led to them? Join us for a historic 2001 panel discussion with leading urbanists, architects and planners, discussing coding strategies for New York and other great cities. This is an important discussion for planners, architects, developers, engineers, environmentalists, and citizens who want to understand the implementation of codes. COURSE CODE: 2010-20089 LEARNING UNITS: 1.5 LUs INSTRUCTORS:Andres Duany, Neal Payton, Paul Murrain DESCRIPTION: The Charter of the New Urbanism is deliberately style-neutral regarding architecture: “Individual architectural projects should be seamlessly linked to their surroundings. This issue transcends style.” What does this mean for specific projects? In particular, how can the modernist emphasis on individuality and creativity be reconciled with the need for a coherent public realm? Three of New Urbanism’s most articulate theorists and practitioners discuss how codes can permit diversity of stylistic expression, while preserving a functional public realm and quality of place.

DESCRIPTION: Today’s urbanists are combining the sustainable qualities of traditional towns and cities with high performance “green” technologies. Many technologies are available at the scale of the block, such as district energy, stormwater filtration, and solar orientation and shading. But there are trade-offs between environmental performance and the quality of civic space. How can these be optimized? We will look at three leading case studies for answers: Davis, California, Civano in Tucson, Arizona, and BedZed, a groundbreaking zero-energy project in the UK. COURSE CODE: 2010-20084

DESCRIPTION: Urban projects of over 40 units per acre often face the toughest challenges. In the face of big-city scrutiny by the public and the market, they must provide both a superior streetscape and the vast quantities of parking that investor’s demand. This session will present case studies of high-density blocks that adhere to the Charter of the New Urbanism principles while accommodating the realities of politics and finance. COURSE CODE: 2010-20101 LEARNING UNITS: 1.0 LUs INSTRUCTORS:Chris Calott DESCRIPTION: New Urbanism is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but as the Charter of the New Urbanism specifies, “architecture and landscape design should grow from local climate, topography, history, and building practice.” How should buildings reflect significant regional influences? How can coding ensure a coherent public realm and response to local influences, while encouraging diverse and locally distinctive expressions? The course examines case studies from the US states of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. COURSE CODE: 2010-20086 LEARNING UNITS: 1.5 LUs INSTRUCTORS:Timothy Beatly, Marcia Jimenez and Doug Farr DESCRIPTION: Sustainability, once narrowly considered as a problem of building technology, is increasingly recognized as a challenge at the scale of urbanism.Join three international leaders who will discuss this "urbanist revolution":Timothy Beatley, author of Green Urbanism and professor of sustainability at the University of Virginia; Marcia Jimenez, Chicago Commissioner of the Department of the Environment; and Doug Farr, author of Sustainable Urbanism, and chair of LEED-ND for the US Green Building Council.
