Building on CNU National’s Climate @ CNU Initiative, local and national experts, together with all summit attendees, will generate ideas for helping New England communities create tools for creating low-carbon infill development and compact neighborhoods, sharing tools such as form-based codes and smart street-design alternatives to help break down the barriers that encourage auto-dependent sprawl. More Info will be available in the next month at www.cnunewengland.org.
