The 20th Congress for the New Urbanism
West Palm Beach
May 09, 2012 – May 12, 2012
As practitioners, associates and friends of New Urbanism gather on Florida’s Gold Coast for our 20th Congress, we find a New World of challenges and opportunities before us. Our world, already beset with the challenges of peak oil, climate change, and wealth disparity, finds global economic crisis confronting us with the equivalent fury of tropical storms from old Florida lore. We step ashore facing worldwide adjustments in the financial, housing, retail, transportation, and energy markets. These storms have drastically changed how we do business in the 21st Century and are opening a “new world” of challenges and opportunities for the New Urbanism.

Shaping Cities
An international symposium of european organizations operating in urban space.
The symposium asks what the nonprofit organizations are today and questions their role in the creation of city space.
Are they nonelected groups of interest promoting their own interpretation of public good? Or do they represent a litmus paper of the level of democracy in the society?
Invited organizations transform the city space on different levels – from local to the whole-city projects, with a narrow or global point of view.
