Report from Poundbury and London for IMCL 2023!
The International Making Cities Livable conference series was begun in 1985 by Dr. Henry L. Lennard, a Viennese medical sociologist, and Dr. Suzanne C. Lennard, an architectural researcher. Both were committed to sharing knowledge to make healthier, more ecological, more equitable, more beautiful -- more livable -- cities, towns and suburbs. The conference series, study tours, and other events, bring together leaders from policy, practice and academia, to share effective tools and strategies, and to examine instructive case studies.
