Can the creation of sustainable, human-scaled places help us lead healthier, happier lives? Renowned urban designer, Andres Duany thinks so.  For over 30 years, Duany has been at the forefront of the New Urbanism, a movement promoting mixed-use, traditional neighborhood planning over the segregated-use suburban sprawl seen worldwide.  His design philosophy has advocated for urban growth through compact, pedestrian-oriented, transit-friendly communities that continue to shape policy and influence new sustainability codes for the future of our cities.  He has tested these ideas in more than 300 built projects and will share the lessons he has learned and the ways we can work towards a more sustainable future for all.      About the Guest:   Andres Duany is an internationally recognized architect and urban designer dedicated to the design of compact, sustainable, walkable cities. He is the co-founder of DPZ CoDesign, a leader in the practice of planning and urban design for over 30 years. Duany is one of the founders of the New Urbanism, an international planning movement that advocates for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns, the reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural environments, and the preservation of our built legacy.
