Running a Successful Charrette

with Bill Lennertz & Victor Dover

An interactive audio conference,
Tuesday, October 14, 3:00-4:30 pm Eastern Time,
sponsored by New Urban News.

This intensive, interactive, 90-minute “virtual seminar” will provide practical guidelines and creative insights on how to organize and conduct a charrette — a collaborative public planning forum for resolving conflicts, reaching solutions, and improving your community through smart growth.

Learn how to:

  • Build citizen trust and gain consensus on the most difficult issues, such as density, traffc and mixed uses
  • Get projects approved faster, with greater public support and higher market visibility
  • Create smart growth plans and test their economic and market feasibility
  • Keep the planning process on track and prevent it from being derailed or hijacked by a single or special interest
  • Resolve issues early in order to avoid costly changes later


And engage in lively give-and-take discussion with our experts:

Bill Lennertz, AIA, cofounder and Executive Director of the National Charrette Institute, and former principal, LCA Town Planning & Architecture, has facilitated more than 200 charrettes for public and private clients on projects ranging from main street revitalizations, town centers and affordable housing, to complete new neighborhoods and communities.


Victor Dover, AICP, principal, Dover Kohl & Partners, is an architect and town designer who serves as principal-in-charge for many of Dover Kohl’s planning projects, at both the neighborhood.
