CNU members and their allies work with communities to build places people love. Human-scale, universally accessible neighborhoods, town centers, streets, and public spaces can only be built with all of our help. We need you to build places people love. Click on the following great place-building examples to find out more about how this is done.
Transforming ‘barracks’ into a neighborhood
Westlawn Gardens Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Born as a public housing tract on Milwaukee’s northwest side, Westlawn was originally developed in the 1950s to provide affordable dwellings for families.
A mixed-use center for town and gown
Storrs Center Mansfield, Connecticut
For a town with a major educational institution—the University of Connecticut—Mansfield was surprisingly short of urban amenities until a few years ago.
A diverse new neighborhood in the heart of the city
Highlands Garden Village Denver, Colorado
For a century, the 27-acre Elitch Gardens amusement park was an exciting destination for Denver, CO—until the facility moved in the 1990s.
UCLA Weyburn, Los Angeles
From parking lot to urban tour-de-force Los Angeles, California
For the University of California in Los Angeles, the Weyburn project is more than just graduate student housing.
