Call for Papers for CNU XVI:
The Congress for the New Urbanism invites academic paper submissions for presentation at CNU XVI in Austin, Texas from April 3-6, 2008. Submissions are welcome on a range of issues and disciplines related to New Urbanism. Selection will be based on the paper’s contribution to critical discussion and practice of New Urbanism and for synergies within sessions. Summaries of research results are particularly encouraged. All papers will be read and commented upon by at least two reviewers prior to presentation.

Details of Submission:
The deadline for paper submissions is midnight on Sunday December 9, 2007. All paper submissions must represent original work, cannot have been previously published, and must be written in English. Submissions can be no longer than 2400 words, excluding endnotes, and all papers must also include an abstract and brief bio, not to exceed 100 words each. Accepted papers and abstracts will be published on the CNU website, and the authors of those selected papers will be required to complete copyright transfer forms. Submitted papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Urbanism.

Instructions for Submission:
Paper submissions should be e-mailed to callforpapers@cnu.org no later than midnight on Sunday, December 9, 2007. The subject line of the email should be the title of the paper. The body of the e-mail should include the author’s name, e-mail address, phone number, and brief bio (not to exceed 100 words). The paper should be submitted as a Microsoft Word attachment. Participants should fill out the cover sheet and paste their abstract and text into the body of the word document. The 100-word abstract must appear at the front of the paper. So that the submissions can be objectively assessed, please do not reference the author’s name or institution in the file name or text of the paper or abstract. Illustrations incorporated into the text in are strongly preferred, however they can be sent as additional attachments with the email so long as they do not exceed a total of 5MB.
