The Adaptation Urbanism workshop, led by Andrés Duany, focuses on urban design ideas and adaptation plans to help planners, designers and city officials address climate change and related natural disasters.

Over the last few years, Duany has been working with others to incorporate responses to climate change using new urbanist design tools and principles. In this workshop he will unveil some of his new work and discuss how to apply these ideas for the Front Range.

Concepts used in the workshop include agrarian urbanism, climate comfort zones, co-housing, decanting, defensible space, equity, gift economy, light living, lean governance, local infrastructure, loose space, permaculture, pockets of resilient infrastructure, receiving regions and areas, relocation readiness, self-administration, self-sufficiency, sharing, slow city, slow food, slow money, subsidiarity, succession, third place, transect, urban farming and vernacular.

Registration is $200 for the one-day workshop, which includes lunch.

Students, faculty, nonprofits and agencies requiring a scholarship to attend the workshop should choose the "scholarship" option when registering (there is no charge to request a scholarship) and then email cedarcenter@colorado.edu with the request. CEDaR will email scholarship applicants to let them know whether we can accommodate their requests.
