The U.S. has been experiencing an urban renaissance, and the Denver region is one of those places that captures the excitement of this new wave of urbanism. It's a fantastic setting for CNU 17—a place where visitors can experience first-hand great examples of the future of urbanism. From its vibrant downtown, to its new and expanding transit system—and accompanying TOD, to its TNDs and exemplary redevelopment projects, it is a place attendees should look forward to visiting.
