The Albany Roundtable endorsed the ideals of new urbanism and sus-
tainability long before these were common buzzwords. Previous Visiting
Speakers have included Stan Eckstut (NYC architect, Battery City Pro-
ject); Tony Hiss (Project for Public Spaces); Robert McNulty (Partners
for Livable Places); Paul Pritchard (National Parks and Conservation As-
sociation); Richard Bradley (proponent of Downtown business districts);
Ray Oldenburg (The Great Good Place); James Howard Kunstler (author
and new urbanist); Jane Holtz Kay (architecture critic, author of Asphalt
Nation); Joseph P. Riley (Mayor, Charleston, South Carolina); Richard
Reinhart (Buffalo Place); and others.
The Albany Roundtable’s civic luncheons are open to the public and
typically attract a range of people active in business, the arts, nonprofits,
governments, neighborhoods and other urban activities.
