A walking tour exploring the history and design of the town of Seaside, Florida. The celebrated town is a milestone in town planning that led to the creation of the Congress for the New Urbanism and the idea that development should consider how people live and work, provide alternatives to driving, and reflect the local environment. Seaside was founded by Robert and Daryl Davis with a masterplan by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. The 75-minute tour includes information on the history of the town, the story behind its creation, and a 1 ½ mile guided walk that points out the masterplan’s features and the town’s notable architecture.
