The 26th Annual Congress for the New Urbanism will include a series of sessions open to the public. Registration is required as seating is limited.

Savannah Day

Whether Savannah is new to you or very familiar, Savannah Day will captivate you with a series of programs on Savannah’s past, present, and future. The sessions will explore what Savannah is famous for - the Oglethorpe and Savannah Plans, and its rich architectural tableaux. But Savannah is much more than that—it’s a living, breathing, and very modern city. It’s a city that struggles with balancing its historic nature with contemporary needs, and it’s a city that continues to struggle with poverty and social divisions. Prepare to dig deep—Savannah Day will give you a picture of the beautiful and the underbelly.

Savannah As Platform

Led by local experts, Savannah As Platform sessions illuminate the results of the Legacy Charrettes, co- sponsored in March 2018 by CNU, the Cities of Savannah and Brunswick, the Georgia Conservancy, and expert design teams drawn from the CNU membership. The Savannah As Platform program will take place on Saturday and will culminate with a talk by Stefanos Polyzoides on the lessons we can learn from Savannah.
