Others see great public health benefits. A big focus is to get at the anti-urban policies and standards and rules at the federal, state and local level, Norquist says.<\/p>\n<p>If that sounds like nitty-gritty implementation, and a little bit nerdy, too, CNU has always had a mix of rock-star designers and those among the 1,500 architects, designers, planners, elected officials, developers and others expected for the conference, who like nothing better than a lengthy debate on the merits of different varieties of shade trees.<\/p>\n<p>Still, as unglamorous as it is, re-writing the owner\u2019s manual for urbanism makes sense. It\u2019s what another architectural movement \u2013 the Congress International Architecture Moderne (CIAM), after which CNU is modeled \u2013 did. Leaders like Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius wasted little time embedding modernism in codes and academic curricula.<br \/>\nUNQUOTE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/atlantic_cities\">atlantic_cities<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/anthony_flint\">anthony_flint<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/cnu\">cnu<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/new_urbanism\">new_urbanism<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
