THE COUNCIL REPORT PROVIDES IN-DEPTH CASE STUDIES
OF CUTTING-EDGE NEW URBANIST PROJECTS
July 18,
2002—The recently inaugurated Council Report series,
published semi-annually, features detailed case studies, critiques and
insider views of breakthrough New Urbanist projects. This unique
publication offers thorough descriptions, insightful commentary, and
full-color plans and photos of projects by the nation’s leading
practitioners. Multiple commentators for each project provide a depth and
variety of peer review uncommon in publications on new development.
Council Report I
features the New Urbanist greenfield towns Celebration, Civano, Haile
Village, l’On, Karrow-Nord, Kentlands, King Farm, and Southlake.
Commentary is by Charles Bohl, Victor Dover, Andres Duany, Ray Gindroz,
John Massengale, Stephanos Polyzoides, Jeff Speck, and 28 others. The
publication is 52 large-format pages with color and black and white
images.
Council Report II
focuses on infill
projects by leading New Urbanist firms and includes articles on Hope VI
projects, live/work development, plazas, and more. Projects discussed
include Aqua, South Prescott in Ocean View, Westlake in St. Croix, and
more. Reviewers include Bill Dennis, Andres Duany, Ray Gindroz, Elizabeth
Plater-Zyberk, Robert Steuteville, Peter Swift, John Torti, and 18 others.
The publication is 40 large-format pages with color and black and white
images.
The
Council Report is based on the semi-annual meeting of the Council of the
Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU). At the Council meetings, leading New
Urbanists present projects to juries of their peers who offer critiques
before opening up discussion to the audience. The Council meeting is “a
new type of forum for the Congress of the New Urbanism,” according to
Andres Duany, a founder of the Congress of the New Urbanism.
The
Council Report is published by The Town Paper, and is
sponsored primarily by the Knight Program in Community Building at
University of Miami School of Architecture.

Council Report is available in select bookstores. To order it
