What Baton Rouge needs to take the next step as a city is young people to make it cool, planner Andres Duany said Monday.
Duany, of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., helped lead the development of “Plan Baton Rouge,” which guided the redevelopment of downtown. Fifteen years later, the planner and leader of the "new urbanism" movement was in Baton Rouge on Monday to give the keynote address launching the beginning of the Smart Growth Summit planning conference at the Shaw Center for the Arts.
