I just received this announcement of a conference sponsored by the ASLA Central States Chapter entitled “Landscape Urbanism: Economics of Healthy Communities” – (a remarkably odd title imho, but) including keynote speakers Andres Duany, John Crompton, and Brad McKee… topic session submittals are due tomorrow so late notice, but the conference itself is on May 5-6 in Des Moines.  More info, contact Matt Carlile at mcarlile@thinkconfluence.com
