Led by Andrés Duany, the Adaptation Urbanism workshop focuses on urban design ideas and adaptation plans to help planners, designers and city officials address climate change and related natural disasters. Duany is founder and principal partner at Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, widely recognized as a leader of the New Urbanism, an international movement that seeks to end suburban sprawl and promote environmentally friendly habits by creating walkable neighborhoods containing a wide range of housing and job types.

In 2019, Growing Up Boulder (GUB), Boulder’s child- and youth-friendly city initiative based out of the University of Colorado's Community Engagement, Design and Research (CEDaR) Center, created the United States’ first printed, child-friendly city map.These free, bilingual (the printed version) maps have reached more than 15,000 families. Learn how your community can create one of these maps as a tool for social justice, active living, empowerment and joy!

Manufactured home communities face many challenges, and each community is different. From problems with basic infrastructure and water billing, to rent increases, unreasonable park rules, and unfair treatment - many areas of potential conflict between residents and park owners exist. Resident health and well-being can suffer. How can disputes be resolved? How can positive change be made?

Don't miss the fourth annual Colorado Pollinator Summit, “Protecting Colorado’s Biodiversity," which features plenary talks and panels on urban neighborhoods, landscaping for biodiversity, and holistic farming in Colorado. The annual event, planned by CEDaR, the Denver Botanic Gardens and other organizations, often sells out.

Many Coloradans - renters, immigrants, artists, students, seniors, mobile and manufactured homeowners, single-parent and working families, small business owners, and middle-class families - are financially stressed as a result of housing and urban costs. Coloradans are also concerned about quality of life - congestion, pollution, neighborhood character and shrinking green landscapes. Please join us Oct. 25 at the third annual Community Building Colorado-Style conference to explore creative solutions to the challenges of affordability, diversity and equity in rapidly-growing Colorado communities
