Mobile Workshops & Walking Tours 

Brownfields 2006 features numerous workshops offering experiential learning by land and by water.  If you're coming to Boston early, consider checking out the renaissance in downtown Providence, or taking a boat tour of East Boston and Boston Harbor that showcases exciting waterfront redevelopment.  And throughout the three days of the conference, you'll have the chance to see world class projects in Lawrence, Somerville, and Boston's Dudley Street corridor, among others.  Tow free walking tours are also scheduled.  Full descriptions and costs are available on the Mobile Workshop and Walking Tours registration page (you have to be registered for the conference to view the full descriptions).
