DESCRIPTION:June's Green Speaker Series speaker will be Tim Busse\, Town 
 Architect of New Town at St. Charles.  Tim will talk on New Urbanism\, a
 n urban design movement which promotes walkable neighborhoods that conta
 in a range of housing and job types.  It arose in the United States in t
 he early 1980s\, and has gradually continued to reform many aspects of r
 eal estate development\, urban planning\, and municipal land-use strateg
 ies.  New Urbanism is strongly influenced by urban design standards that
  were prominent until the rise of the automobile in the mid-20th century
 .  Its aims include reducing traffic congestion\, increasing the supply 
 of affordable housing\, and reining in suburban sprawl.\nNew Town at St.
  Charles is a local example of a New Urban community.  Other examples in
  the US include Seaside\, Florida\, Disney's Celebration\, Florida\, Sou
 th Main in Buena Vista\, Colorado\, and Mesa del Sol\, New Mexico.\nTim 
 will discuss the basic tenets and green benefits of New Urbanism at 7 pm
  on June 21st at Longview Farm Park at 13525 Clayton Road\, Town &amp\; 
 Country\, MO 63141.  The talk will last no longer than an hour\, and is 
 free and open to the public.
