Join us in Naples, Florida

For over 100 years, Naples has been emblematic of the unique challenges of placemaking in the state of Florida, which accommodates the longest coastline in the contiguous United States and the third largest population overall. Recent extreme weather events along with the demand for growth and development justify an opportunity for Urbanists and Traditionalists to come together to analyze where Naples has come and where it is headed, with an eye towards resilient and sustainable communities that are adapted to their environs.

Featured events for the weekend include a chat with a multidisciplinary professional panel who will navigate and expand upon their decades of experiences of working in Naples, walking tours of the historic neighborhoods, a visit to and analysis of a project in-progress, and an evening cocktail social. Please join us for a day to explore the history, discuss the lessons, and visualize the potential of this vibrant and robust coastal community!
