Today’s News - Monday, April 22, 2002

We begin this week with a new feature article applauding the winners of the Congress for the New Urbanism's second annual Charter Awards who will be honored at the CNU X conference this June (see article for details). Speaking of dates&hellipas of today, the calendar has a number of new competition deadlines, conferences, and events. It is now organized by month, making it easier to use. New calendar entries are made almost daily, so it's a good idea to check for new items at least once a week. We've also added links on the home page to feature article and ANN news archives, so if you'd like to review (or might have missed) anything that expires from the home page, everything is now easily accessible.
