CNU 24 Daily Wrap-Up: Wednesday, June 8
CNU 24 is in full swing, and the city of Detroit may never be the same. Over 1400 New Urbanists have landed, unpacked, and set about exploring the city—from Downtown, Midtown, and Corktown to the outer reaches of Windsor and Ann Arbor. Meanwhile, expert speakers on wide-ranging topics are already capturing their imagination with the how, where, when, and why of creating great places.
Every day this week here at Public Square: A CNU Journal, we'll collect the highlights of our annual Congress, as seen through the eyes of our members and followers. Here's the #CNU24 Daily Wrap-up for Wednesday, June 8.
