Released: May 17, 2012
James Howard Kunstler joins other prominent New Urbanist writers on a recent panel at The Congress for The New Urbanism, held in West Palm Beach, Florida this May 9-12, 2012. The panel, titled: “Why We Write: Prominent New Urbanist Authors Discuss Their Classic NU Books and Current Works, and the Critical Importance of Writing to the Movement,” featured a moderated discussion with the authors of path-breaking, “core” New Urbanist books. Listen to the reconsideration of cornerstone texts that were influential in shaping the movement and how they relate to the authors’ current ideas. Discussion of the critical importance of writing to the movement and gaps in the literature on the theory, practice and relevance of the New Urbanism to contemporary challenges will be addressed. The authors will share their ideas on writing influential texts on walkable, mixed-use communities.
