"The event began with a presentation by Andres Duany that was essentially his'Introduction to New Urbanism,' with an emphasis on all the obstacles todevelopment and the goal of increased choice. This lasted for 20 minutes,and then Wendell Cox gave a presentation ... Cox mentioned several times how close he was in agreement with Duany.
