3. High Point
High Point City Council is giving the cold shoulder to the visionary City Project and shelving most of the recommendations of architect Andres Duany to reintroduce human-scaled design in the urban core, while there are rumblings that council members Becky Smothers and Judy Mendenhall want to bring in a new consultant to pursue a new vision.
