Louisiana Speaks wins 2008 Charter for the New Urbanism Charter Award
Each year, CNU's Charter Awards recognize projects across the world that best embody and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism. As selected by a jury of leading urbanists, honorees set the gold standard for urban design and development and serve as powerful examples for future development.
The Charter Awards program is unique in its emphasis on the entirety of the built and natural environment—from the function and sustainability of regions to the fine-grain architectural details that help strengthen people's ties to a place over time. The Charter Awards look at how plans and projects integrate with their contexts and, consequently, how they improve the human experience of the built and natural environments.
