Themed "From Neighborhood to Region," seminars, presentations and discussions put the spotlight on the relationship of regional planning to neighborhood design, as well as many other issues. Speakers included Chairman of the National Governors' Association and "smart growth" champion Governor Parris Glendening of Maryland; and H. Brent Coles, mayor of Boise, Idaho, and president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.Participants found a number of positives in this year's Congress, among them the growth in the scope, breadth and sheer numbers of new urbanist projects completed and underway, ranging from new town "greenfield" to development to "infill" projects in urban areas that will redensify cities.
