"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. He made an explicit distinction between Duany and other New Urbanists such as Kunstler and Calthorpe. Those he lumped together with the Smart Growth movement, and presented a barrage of statistics critiquing the assumptions of thosemovements."
