Jeff Speck Congress for the New Urbanism Tesho Akindele Agree 💯! Last time I was in Charlotte was 12-13 yrs ago. The downtown has come a long way and was quite enjoyable. Addition of public art really jumped out. As for the congress, loved having Strong Towns and #CNU31 together. Brought new energy, youth, and ideas in. 👏👏

Closing out a great week! Thank you Congress for the New Urbanism for picking #CLT for #CNU31. Watching Terry Shook close out the sessions and looking forward to a rocking Closing Party.

Taiwo Jaiyeoba, City Manager, City of Greensboro: If you want to find problems, all cities & towns have problems…however, cities are the centers of excellence….no monument has ever been built & dedicated to a critic. There will always be naysayers. #CNU31 #CityPlanning

Over 1,300 urbanists came to Charlotte for this years’ Congress for the New Urbanism Congress. This was my first time going, but it definitely won’t be my last! Here are a few of my takeaways from the week 🧵
