CNU-Houston Meeting Tommorrow
CNU-Houston will be meeting tomorrow to discuss the Transect. The Transect is one of the key elements of New Urbanism – it’s the idea that human environments form a spectrum from natural countryside to agricultural lands to small towns to the neighborhoods and centers of large cities. The Transect is an attempt to classify the various kinds of environments people live in, to observe what kinds of infrastructure and building design work best within that context, and to understand how these environments change over time as they grow “up the transect.”
This meeting will be the first in CNU-Houston’s new professional development series. It’s going to be a really unique format, focused on small group discussion and interactive application of the ideas presented. The meeting will be at 6:00 PM at the Black Labrador Pub in Montrose.
If you’re interested, you can sign up to attend online (the event is free!). You can find more information at CNU-Houston.

KHH: Houston Growth – that’d be the organization that believes that car-oriented sprawl is necessary for high home ownership, and high home ownership is necessary for equal rights for minorities.
