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.

This is an opportunity to learn about New Urbanism and get involved in the region where CNU will convene its annual Congress in 2014.
The retreat will run from Friday, October 12 (11:00 AM) to Sunday, October 14 (12:00 PM) at the Athenaeum Hotel in Chautauqua, New York. Register at https://www.cnu.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=30 for advanced purchase discounted registration.
