Description:
Outside the US, the principles of the Congress for the New Urbanism are not a choice but a moral imperative for survival. Most countries do not subsidize the standard of living for their population, and citizens have to pay the real cost for energy. Hence principles that promote sustainable urbanism over sprawl are welcomed as common sense. The International Sessions will highlight the groundbreaking work new urbanists are doing in every continent, and illuminate the adaptation and transformation of CNU's principles to fit local conditions and norms.
