Andrés Duany


Andrés Duany: Two Lectures at Arizona State University

In these lectures, given at ASU on October 13, 2010, Andrés Duany challenges us to look at the future of American cities in a new light. How do the current crises of global recession and climate change affect how we design and build cities? Sprawl is the least sustainable growth pattern, yet it still represents a major portion of the built environment — how will we adapt, repair, and rebuild it? Duany proposes new ideas and innovative strategies for rebuilding sustainable communities in the 21st century.

Latino Urbanism is an emerging approach to development that responds to Latino lifestyles, cultural preferences, and economic needs. The Latino Urbanism Symposium, held at ASU's Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory in downtown Phoenix on May 4 – 5, 2011, highlights Latino Urbanism and its role in American placemaking. Through public presentations, panel discussions, community outreach and a design forum, we celebrate and seek to understand how Latino Urbanism is reshaping the American urban landscape.
