For more than 30-years, Andrés Duany has sought to end suburban sprawl and urban disinvestment, both in American cities and around the world.

Duany is credited with advancing the design aesthetic known as “New Urbanism.”
 
Officials and stakeholders in Michigan’s cities can hear Mr. Duany speak this Thursday, in Detroit, at the annual conference of the Michigan Municipal League.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
