Visions and Revisions of an Urban River: John Norquist, former Mayor of Milwaukee; John Gurda, Milwaukee historian and writer; Nik Kovac, Alderman
Hear about reflections on the MilwaukeeRiver, its historic activities, its ecological changes, and the future of a key Milwaukeeresource.
New Urbanism 101: Steve Filmanowicz, former Communications Director for the Congress for the New Urbanism
Do you love your walkable mixed-use neighborhood, or do you wish your neighborhood had everything you needed within walking distance? Come learn more about New Urbanism with Steve Filamonwicz and the New Urban Friends!
New Urbanism advocates for strategies and techniques that restore existing urban centers and reconfigure sprawling suburbs into real diverse neighborhoods. New Urbanism 101 will inform you on what are walkable mixed-use neighborhoods, how American cities deviated in the 20th Century, and how New Urbanism can improve the built environment in your town, village, or city.
In a time of tight fiscal constraints in government, increasing energy and transportation costs, and global climate change, New Urbanism "just performs better"!
