Living Locally and Sustainably: Sustainable Urbanism and the Promise of LEED for Neighborhood...

As a preview of 2011's exciting 19th meeting of the Congress for the New Urbanism in Madison, join us this month for a special lecture - Living Locally and Sustainably: Sustainable Urbanism and the Promise of LEED for Neighborhood Development. These fast-changing times challenge each of us to find happiness while reducing our global impact. Living a choice-rich local life is proving to be a powerful global trend for achieving these goals. Join Doug Farr, sustainable architect/planner and renowned author of Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature, as he shares his insights on how the Madison area can use LEED-ND, a first-ever green certification for neighborhoods, to create greater choice-filled, sustainable communities. The event will take place on September 30th, 2010, from 6-7 p.m. The event will be located at Monona Terrace Convention Center and will be free to the public. Come early; seating is limited and will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a preview event for CNU 19, the nation's premier conference for making communities more livable and sustainable, which will be held in Madison June 1-4, 2011. http://www.cnu.org/node/3664
