Livable Communities: Walking, Working, and Water – Seattle, 14 - 17 September 2006 14-09-2006 Introduction The Livable Communities conference will engage design professionals, public
officials, and others in an exploration of the intersecting spheres of community
and environment through design. The focus will be on creating sustainable places
that connect opportunities related to walking, working, and water.
Description
This conference provides a unique opportunity for planners, politicians,
architects, landscape architects, developers, and urban designers to discuss the
rapid changes occurring within the American scene—burgeoning boomers,
skyrocketing energy costs, changing demographics, environmental calamities, and
economic disruptions—and how regional urbanism can contribute to a rebalancing
of our consumptive practices and reconnect our urban fabric with each
metropolitan area's cultural, environmental, and economic character.
Through the Livable Communities conference, design professionals, public
officials, and others will explore the intersecting spheres of community and
environment through design. The focus will be on creating sustainable places
that connect opportunities related to walking, working, and water.
