The Town Courier presents a special insert-report on a 'Tune up Charrette' for Kentlands, MD.
A special report on a three-day charrette in Kentlands and Lakelands, MD, includes color plans and renderings, explanations of key features and "hot button" issues, and day-by-day coverage of the event. June, 2003 marked the 15th anniversary of the founding charrette where Kentlands was conceived, and many of the original planners are now experts now in new urbanism, and were visiting Washington, D.C. for the annual Congress for the New Urbanism conference, and participated in what the report calls a "tune up charrette."
