Our subject is "Healthy Growth and Change in a City" by Ervin Bell, Architect, AIA. Erv will discuss how a city is like a growing and ever changing organism that needs to be nourished and guided in its growth. Erv will give a brief history of modern city planning then will give an introduction to the most innovative movement in planning in the past 50 years, New Urbanism. The movement has developed principals and tools of planning for "nourishing to the city" such as "form based zoning". Discussion will be encouraged!
Mr. Bell received a BS in Architectural Engineering and BS in Business from CU Boulder and a MA in Architecture from UC Berkeley. His master's Thesis was "Urban Development Investment game, UDIG". Ervin has taught Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Colorado, Boulder and Denver.
