Master Street Plans
Join urban designers David Green and Paul Knight for a discussion of one of the most effective city-making tools in history, Master Street Plans. Learn how plans such as the L'Enfant Plan for DC, the 1811 plan for Manhattan, and the Oglethorpe Plan for Savannah have shaped these cities through centuries of change, and why this tool was abandoned by cities in the middle of the 20th Century. And yet this tool is highly relevant today for infill, greenfield, and retrofit development. Learn about examples of how this tool is being used in modern times, and why cities should pick it up and run with it. The moderator is Robert Steuteville.

On The Park Bench is CNU's webinar series presenting interactive conversations with thought leaders in New Urbanism and allied industries, providing an opportunity for the audience to engage in real time. Powered by the Congress for the New Urbanism, Public Square and On the Park Bench are built to add depth and rigor to the practice of urbanism and improve our capacity for creating inclusive, resilient places—places that people love.
Author’s Forum on Urbanism is a monthly series featuring authors in an hour-long, interactive discussion of recent publications on urbanism. The series, part of CNU’s On the Park Bench webinar program, takes a deep dive into each author’s insights through the lens of New Urbanism. The focus will be on one or two ideas that are embodied in the book, which advance the understanding of precedents and design strategies to repair and make sustainable urbanism. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage the authors during the session.
