Description:

This national, multi-disciplinary, smart growth conference is coming to Albuquerque, New Mexico and will be held January 22-24, 2009. The program has over 100 diverse, cutting-edge sessions spanning three full days. While many sessions will explore new trends and technical details, there are also sessions for those who are new to smart growth. The program includes 11 optional tours of model projects another great way to experience the Southwest.

Our country is facing enormous challenges. At the top of the list are climate change, the economy, jobs, housing, public health and water shortages. Never before has there been such an urgent need for community leadership and innovation. Participants at the Albuquerque New Partners conference will have a chance to learn from and be inspired by cutting-edge, local-level responses to these pressing issues, selected from impressive initiatives drawn from throughout the country.

The LGC expects most of the conference sessions to be approved for AICP accreditation. Information as to which sessions are accredited will be posted online at soon.
