Examining the Resilience of a Region

CNU 33 will allow attendees to examine how New England has adapted, explore the values of interdependence and community, and establish a hopeful vision for the future based on the power of New Urbanist solutions. The region is home to some of our country’s oldest urbanism – villages, towns, and cities that have evolved through centuries of change: From economic peaks and valleys, periods of population growth and decline, and the demands of housing driven by shifting industries. Now, the region faces critical challenges as the increasingly severe impacts brought on by a changing climate lap at the shores of coastal communities and threaten flooding of inland waterways.

The central stage for this Congress will be Providence, Rhode Island: A city that has grown and changed immensely since last hosting CNU in 2006. The evolution of downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods, the transformation of the 195 corridor, the reclamation of street space for pedestrians and bikes, and innovative techniques to protect the city from coastal flooding will all be on display.

 The 33rd Congress will be one focused on progress and hope, an event to roll up our sleeves and work together to advance the New Urbanist movement.
