A Congress for the New Urbanism Initiative Forum | CNU believes that sprawl can be retrofitted using a growing strategic toolkit of approaches. In a time of converging economic, social and environmental crises that have global consequences, the reformation of sprawl is a great opportunity for building long-lasting, better-performing communities throughout the world. This forum is a public platform for activists, academics, practitioners, engineers, professionals and more that wish to discuss and share resources on the sprawl retrofit movement.
