"The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) announces the fifteen winners of the organization's first annual Charter Awards. These projects show the state of the art in New Urbanist development -- development of walkable neighborhoods that respect natural boundaries and enhance community. Charter Award winners range in size from a mixed-use building in Colorado to statewide plans for New Jersey and Western Australia. Winning projects are located in ten U.S. states and three foreign countries."
