Phoenix, Ariz. – (SBWIRE) — 01/17/2023 — On this show, Carie Penabad, host of ON CITIES, is joined by Andres Duany, an internationally recognized architect, urban planner and author. Duany is best known as one of the founders of New Urbanism, a movement that promotes mixed-use, traditional neighborhood planning over the world’s separate-use suburban sprawl. His design philosophy advocates urban growth through compact, pedestrian-centric, traffic-friendly communities that continue to shape policy and influence new sustainability codes for the future of our cities. He believes these environments enable us to live healthier and happier lives; and he has examples to prove it. With over 300 projects built, Duany will share the lessons he has learned and the ways we can work together toward a more sustainable future for all.

“Today we live in cities and suburbs whose shape and character we did not choose. They were imposed on us by federal politics, local zoning laws and the demands of the automobile.”
