News Andres Duany coming to Decatur in April

Decatur Metro has the news!
On Thursday April 16th, New Urbanist extraordinare, Andres Duany, will open his three day SmartCode workshop in Decatur with a free talk about Smart Growth principles from 5:30p-8p at Holy Trinity Parish (515 E. Ponce de Leon Ave).A book signing will follow the event.
Duany never disappoints, so come see what’s sure to be an entertaining romp through the principles and benefits of smart growth.
Entertaining, indeed. Duany recently envisioned five "senior living" sites in metro Atlanta as part of the Atlanta Regional Commission's Lifelong Communities Initiative. In typical Duany fashion, the acclaimed New Urbanist ended up re-imagining not just the sites, but the surrounding areas, as well. (He even threw a gentle jab at the walkable wonderland east of Atlanta.)
If you can attend this event, it's worth it. All the details are at Decatur Metro's site.
