the most important planning movement in this century, and is about creating a better future for us all.

It is an international movement to reform the design of the built environment, and is about raising our quality of life and standard of living by creating better places to live.

New Urbanism is the revival of our lost art of place-making, and is essentially a re-ordering of the built environment into the form of complete cities, towns, villages, and neighborhoods - the way communities have been built for centuries around the world.

New Urbanism involves fixing and infilling cities, as well as the creation of compact new towns and villages. 

What is New Urbanism?

Walkability-Most things within a 10-minute walk of home and

work-Pedestrian friendly street design (buildings close

to street; porches, windows & doors; tree-lined streets; on street parking; hidden parking lots; garages in rear lane; narrow, slow speed streets)

-Pedestrian streets free of cars in special cases

Principles of New Urbanism

Connectivity-Interconnected street grid network disperses traffic & eases walking

-Hierarchy of narrow streets, boulevards, and alleys

-High quality pedestrian network and public realm makes walking pleasurable

Mixed-used and Diversity-A mix of shops, offices, apartments, and

homes on-site. -Mixed-use within neighborhoods, within

blocks, and within buildings-Diversity of people – ages, income levels,

cultures, and races

Traditional Neighborhood Structure

-Discernable center and edge-Public space at center-Importance of quality public realm; public open space

designed as civic art-Contains a range of uses and densities within 10-minute walk-Transect planning: Highest densities at town center;

progressively less dense towards the edge. The transect is an analytical system that conceptualizes mutually reinforcing elements, creating a series of specific natural habitats and/or urban lifestyle settings.

Increased Density-More buildings, residences, shops, and services closer together for

ease of walking, to enable a more efficient use of services and resources, and to create a more convenient, enjoyable place to live.

Smart Transportation-A network of high-quality trains connecting cities, towns, and

neighborhoods together-Pedestrian-friendly design that encourages a greater use of

bicycles, rollerblades, scooters, and walking as daily transportation

Sustainability-Minimal environmental impact of development and

its operations-Eco-friendly technologies, respect for ecology and

value of natural systems -Energy efficiency-Less uses of finite fuels-More local production-More walking, less driving

Quality of Life- Taken together these add up to a high quality of

life well worth living, and create places that enrich, uplift, and inspire the human spirit.

"The sum of human happiness increases because of New Urbanism" – Andres Duany

BENEFITS TO RESIDENTS-Higher quality of life; Better places to live, work, & play;

Higher, more stable property values; Less traffic congestion & less driving; Healthier lifestyle with more walking, and less stress; Close proximity to main street retail & services; Close proximity to bike trails, parks, and nature;

-Pedestrian friendly communities offer more opportunities to get to know others in the neighborhood and town, resulting in meaningful relationships with more people, and a friendlier town

-More freedom and independence to children, elderly, and the poor in being able to get to jobs, recreation, and services without the need for a car or someone to drive them

Benefits of New Urbanism

Page 12: the most important planning movement in this century, and is about creating a better future for us all. It is an international movement to reform

BENEFITS TO BUSINESS- Increased sales due to more foot traffic & people

spending less on cars and gas- More profits due to spending less on advertising

and large signs- Better lifestyle by living above shop in live-work

units - saves the stressful & costly commute- Economies of scale in marketing due to close

proximity and cooperation with other local businesses

Benefits of New Urbanism

Page 13: the most important planning movement in this century, and is about creating a better future for us all. It is an international movement to reform

BENEFITS TO DEVELOPERS- More income potential from higher density mixed-use

projects due to more leasable square footage, more sales per square foot, and higher property values and selling prices

- Faster approvals in communities that have adopted smart growth principles resulting in cost / time savings

- Cost savings in parking facilities in mixed-use properties due to sharing of spaces throughout the day and night, resulting in less duplication in providing parking;

- Less need for parking facilities due to mix of residences and commercial uses within walking distance of each other

- Less impact on roads / traffic, which can result in lower impact fees

Benefits of New Urbanism

Page 14: the most important planning movement in this century, and is about creating a better future for us all. It is an international movement to reform

BENEFITS TO MUNICIPALITES- Stable, appreciating tax base; Less spent per capita on

infrastructure and utilities than typical suburban development due to compact, high-density nature of projects

- Increased tax base due to more buildings packed into a tighter area

- Less traffic congestion due to walkability of design- Less crime and less spent on policing due to the presence

of more people day and night- Less resistance from community- Better overall community image and sense of place- Less incentive to sprawl when urban core area is desirable

"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and

work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself

with ever-growing insistence.“

-Daniel Burnham
