Unlocking
the Value of the Urban Form
John Norquist’s presentations on urban design and development have gained an avid national following. Building on themes first explored in his book, “The Wealth of Cities”, Norquist contrasts the beauty and logic of real cities and well-planned towns with the puzzling sprawl that dominates our current landscape. Covering topics ranging from transportation design to the intellectual movements that fueled sprawl, Norquist uses a series of eye-opening images and disarming questions to make his points.
- Why is it always our traditional cities and towns, not our new communities, featured on postcards?
- Why do we destroy efficient street grids and valuable urban fabric in cities to replace them with superhighways that concentrate traffic, increase congestion, and diminish property values?
- If sprawl offers us such an unsatisfying environment, why do we build so much of it, especially when better alternatives exist?
Drawing from his experience as Mayor of Milwaukee and observations from around the world, Norquist builds the case for the enduring value of the urban form and for the Congress for the New Urbanism as a powerful force working to revitalize cities and towns and make mixed-use, walkable communities successful in today’s marketplace. John Norquist is President of the Congress for New Urbanism.

June 15, 2005 at 12:00 Noon
Presented by Ameristar Fence
SYNOPSIS: One key component to an effective physical site security program
is establishing and maintaining the perimeter of a facility or asset. After
identifying the assets of the facility, defining the anticipated threats,
and assessing the vulnerabilities of a site, physical security products
and procedures can be installed and implemented to better achieve the protection
objectives. Fences, walls, bollards, planters, pedestrian turnstiles, gates,
vehicle barriers, guard booths, and access control systems establish the
perimeter. These products can be integrated with sensors, cameras, lighting,
and communication equipment to effectively deter, delay, deny, detect, and
respond to threats. Recent product developments and procedures will be highlighted
and discussed.
