New Urbanism

New urbanism is considered to be the most influential urban‐planning and design movement, and a leading paradigm to emerge from the latter part of the twentieth century as a reaction to sprawl, post‐World War II rampant development, zoning, and automobile dependency. The idea behind the new urbanism design philosophy is to identify and deliver solutions that work in a twofold manner: in defining sustainable and identifiable urban forms and also in supporting and establishing a real sense of vibrant and livable communities. New urbanism employs different tools and techniques, and rests on “human scale and livable” prescriptions and ideals of town‐planning and urban design. New urbanism attempts to create a type of development as a byproduct of mixed use, mixed housing types, public transportation nodes, and increased density. Criticism focuses on type of style, spatial determinism, and lack of diversity
