Robert Davis is the founder of Seaside, Florida, described by
Time magazine as “…the most astonishing design achievement of its era
and one might hope, the most influential.” As the birthplace of a
growing movement in land planning known as The New Urbanism, Seaside’s
influence has spread widely and is helping to revolutionize town
planning in America. Seaside has won numerous awards for its
architecture and town planning and has been the subject of three books
and countless articles.
Mr. Davis is a recipient of the Rome Prize, the Institute of
Classical Architecture’s Arthur Ross Award, Florida’s Governor’s Award
and Coastal Living’s Conservation Award for Leadership. He is a
principal in The Arcadia Land Company, a firm specializing in town
building and land stewardship. Mr. Davis was a founding Board Member
and chair of The Congress For The New Urbanism; he is a current Board
Member of The Seaside Institute, and 1000 Friends of Florida. He has
served on Florida’s Environmental Land Management Study Committee to
write and update Florida’s growth management legislation, on The
Governor’s Council for Sustainable Florida, on The Trust for Public
Land’s Real Estate Advisory Board, and the Jury for the Driehaus Prize.
A graduate of Antioch College and the Harvard Business School,
Mr. Davis is also a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome and of the
Institute of Urban Design. He lives with his wife Daryl, founder of
Seaside’s downtown retail development and co-founder of Seaside, in
Seaside and San Francisco. Their son, Micah, is a student at St. John’s
College in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
