Poundbury, the urban extension to Dorchester, in Dorchester, England, is recognised worldwide as one of the most advanced solutions to urban settlement in the twenty-first century. It is used by the UK government as a model for new development and enhancing rural economies.
The Poundbury Series, launched in 2007, is a series of seven lectures and tours which are an essential experience for those involved in the planning, design and building of housing developments in the UK and beyond. Those involved in the development of Poundbury, along with other experts, will demonstrate through a series of lectures, workshops and visits how to implement these cutting-edge ideas.
Brian Canin, President of Canin Associates, discusses ongoing research into a model for Transit Ready Design based in Central Florida including Restoration, a major development project that is expected to include a project funded streetcar line.
Danny Pleasant, Key Business Executive/Director in the City of Charlotte's Department of Transportation discusses phasing and the development of Charlotte's successful light rail system which is continuing to expand.

As communities turn from sprawl and work to retrofit existing districts and corridors, misfits between street and land use types often compromise livability, sustainability, and economic development. We’ll look at how some cities have responded by designing streets that go beyond the conventional arterial-collector-local street classification system and have implemented innovative streets with flexible spaces and uses - often overlapping the single-use functions of typical street "zoning." Presentation delivered at CNU 17, Denver, CO on June 12, 2009.
A well-written form-based code can ensure that the community vision is actually what gets built. This session includes an awards presentation and in-depth analysis of the 2009 Driehaus Form-Based Code Award winners. Discover the exemplary features of each winner, and hear about the lessons learned from the winning communities.
