Summary
New York City, New York
June 7-10, 2001
CNU IX focused tightly on four tracks: the region, the neighborhood, design, and codes. Most of the conference was devoted to large group sessions, placing the emphasis on the plenary speakers. The first day offered a new six-hour course, New Urbanism 101, which gave hundreds of newcomers the chance to learn the basics from some of the movement's most influential players. CNU IX also hosted an awards dinner for the winners of the first annual Charter Awards.
