It Pays To Be Urban: How New Urbanism saves money — Urban Forum, Thursday February 9th
By Spacing Ottawa // No Comments
This is from our friends at Urban Forum:
7.00 PM, Champlain Room, Ottawa City Hall
FEATURING: Peter Katz, Planning Director, Arlington County, Virginia; author; consultant
Peter Katz is a key founder of New Urbanism, a movement that takes the good aspects from the old cities we love – walkability, density, mix of uses, and even the front porch – and melds them into today’s cities.
Join Peter, as he reflects on the evolution of New Urbanism beyond its design and environmental roots. Peter’s discussion will demonstrate that New Urbanist mixed-use neighbourhoods not only satisfy our desires for communities with a good quality of life, but also generate sustainable municipal finances.
