Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/17/2023 -- In this show, ON CITIES host Carie Penabad is joined by Andres Duany, an internationally recognized architect, urban designer and author. Duany is best known as one of the founders of the New Urbanism, a movement promoting mixed-use, traditional neighborhood planning over the segregated-use suburban sprawl seen worldwide. His design philosophy advocates for urban growth through compact, pedestrian-oriented, transit-friendly communities that continue to shape policy and influence new sustainability codes for the future of our cities. He believes that these environments allow us to lead healthier and happier lives; and he has examples to prove it. With over 300 built projects, Duany will share the lessons he has learned and the ways we can work together towards a more sustainable future for all.
"We live today in cities and suburbs whose form and character we did not choose. They were imposed upon us by federal policy, local zoning laws and the demands of the automobile."
— Andrés Duany, Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream
