Within a span of 11 days, three charrettes – intense periods of collaborative design and planning – were held to focus on accomplishing three legacy projects in the Charlotte community.

With Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU)’s annual Congress held in Charlotte from May 31 through June 3, the charrettes were hosted by CNU in the leadup to the event to implement New Urbanist design principles in the host region. CNU is a nonprofit with clear goals in mind: diversifying neighborhoods, designing for climate change and legalizing walkable places. In short, building places people love.
