Since 2008 at CNU XVI in Austin, CNU has showcased innovative academic papers at the annual Congress. Submissions are now being accepted for academic papers representing this year’s selected topics:

• New Urbanism & Transportation

• Urban Design Education

Papers that focus on New Urbanism & Transportation should address critical discussion and practice of New Urbanism with respect to transportation. Topics include (but are not limited to) performance measures, travel and traffic behavior/psychology, road safety, transit networks, bikeway networks, street vitality, and highways to boulevards.

For papers dealing with Urban Design Education, CNU is looking for academic investigations that address questions of tradition and/or innovation in the education of urban design students or in the construction and deployment of responsive urban design programs.

Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of a distinguished international group of professionals and scholars. Selection will be based on depth of content, methodological rigor, advancement to the topic, and overall significance to the practice of urban design.

Winners will present their papers at CNU 22 in Buffalo and have their papers published on CNU.org. Contact: callforpapers@cnu.org. Here's a link to the research page on the CNU website.
