A week after New Haven’s two venerable hospitals became one, two more century-plus-old institutions announced a merger of their own—and vowed to bring the downtown private eating club into contemporary standards, citing trends that pose special challenges to the clubs, including the fact that some younger entrepreneurs who might have joined them in an earlier era have gravitated to thriving coworking spaces like the Grove and The Bourse, New Haven’s Coworking Loft.

Kip Bergstrom, Connecticut Deputy Commissioner of Economic Development and Placemaking, offered insights into how New Urbanism and smart growth can make the most of the “innovation economy” and the tastes of young people — meshing with them to build a mobile yet strongly urban way of life.
The view offered by Bergstrom — former head of the Stamford Urban Redevelopment Commission and earlier an economic strategist for a policy group in Rhode Island — was presented in a program organized by architect Robert Orr for the Congress for New Urbanism’s New England Chapter at The Bourse, New Haven’s Coworking Loft.

Architects, traffic engineers and other design professionals from the New Haven area, and from cities as far as Boston and California, donated their time. New Haven Architect and New Urbanist Robert Orr donated the use of The Bourse, New Haven’s Corking Loft. Numerous community groups and interest groups, as well as City Hall professionals, Alders, and a representative from Rosa De Lauro’s office attended. Two days of intensive talking, listening, and designing, in groups large and small, generated an array of ideas for ways to really reconnect and revitalize the area that a misguided “urban renewal” project tore asunder over half a century ago.
