TOUR OF CUBA & HAVANA HARBOUR CHARRETTE
The Norwegian chapter of C.E.U. - Council for European Urbanism - invites you to join a one week tour of three Cuban cities, Havana, Cienfuegos and Trinidad, 1 - 8 March 2008, followed by an optional one week charrette in Old Havana and the neighboring town of Casablanca, 9 - 15 March 2008. Repeating the success of our 2007 event, the one week 2008 Tour will include an introduction to the history of urbanism and architecture in Havana, a seminar on the regeneration of Old Havana, and a 3 day bus tour to two smaller historic towns, Trinidad and Cienfuegos.
CONGRESS FOR THE NEW URBANISM XVI
This year's Congress for the New Urbanism will address today's top community-building challenges - from overcoming anti-urban codes to curbing greenhouse gas emissions - all of which demand truly cooperative action. And CNU's annual Congress brings the essential pieces of place making and sustainability together like no other conference. Whether your interest is architecture, planning, transportation design, or development, you won't want to miss it.
