NEW URBANISM has convenient solutions for Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth. On July 2nd at the Municipal Art Society, the US Green Building Council LEED Neighborhood Development Chair Doug Farr will present a primer on many of those ideas. His book Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature is an urgent call to action and a comprehensive introduction to “sustainable urbanism”–the emerging and growing design reform movement that combines the creation and enhancement of walkable and diverse places with the need to build high-performance infrastructure and buildings. Of all the recent writings on green architecture and urbanism, Sustainable Urbanism is the most complete introduction to making walkable, sustainable, green communities.

Please join us for his only talk in New York, sponsored by CNU New York, the Municipal Art Society’s Urban Center Books and John Wiley and Sons, Inc., publishers.
