carries extremely impressive credentials. He’ll need ’em in a place like Miami. Heck, he’ll probably need major tranquilizers too. Miami is to downtown what Jackson Pollock is to Realism. Burdett, a leading figure in the exciting world of urban planning – i.e., how to make it possible for buildings and people to coexist happily – is a program director at the London School of Economics and chief advisor for construction of the venue for the 2012 Olympics in London. He’ll speak freely, and for free, atDawnTown 2007

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Parking is free (with printed invitation) in the garage on NE Sixth Street between First and Second avenues. A panel of local experts will try to explain Miami’s planning to a surely befuddled Mr. Burdett following his lecture, which begins at 10 a.m. Oh boy. To RSVP, contact Geraldine Guerra at 305-237-3222, or e-mail gguerra@mdc.edu.
