Join us for these free informational sessions on the Legacy Projects conducted by the Congress for the New Urbanism in four different Louisville neighborhoods in March, as part of CNU 27, sponsored by CNU June 12-15. CNU 27 is expected to attract 1,500 architects, urban designers, and planners to Louisville.

In March, special CNU-led urban design teams (architects, planners, retail experts, and transportation experts) worked with local communities in Beechmont, East Portland, the West End / Russell, and Beargrass Creek, to create improvement strategies for those locations.

Come hear the teams review their recommendations and proposed next steps, some of which have already begun.
