Legacy Projects are pro-bono design and planning workshops—focused, hands-on sessions that bring together expert teams and local stakeholders. These typically take place several months before the Congress and include public engagement activities hosted by the local partners.

Legacy Projects aim to:

• Help local partners advance a clearly defined need or opportunity.

• Deliver usable products such as conceptual site plans, design strategies, or policy recommendations.

• Highlight effective approaches to land use, development, or infrastructure.

• Reflect CNU values such as walkability, housing choice, local identity, and responsible growth.

These projects pair nationally respected planning and design professionals with local communities to address real-world challenges. Legacy Projects provide technical assistance on locally identified priorities—whether revitalizing a corridor, supporting local business districts, expanding housing choices, or managing growth responsibly. The selected projects serve as a lasting contribution to the host region and offer replicable models for other communities.
