New Urbanist Vision
What is New Urbanism?
What is New Urbanism? “New Urbanism is a time-tested planning practice that incorporates interrelated patterns of land use, transportation, and urban form to create communities that foster the most desirable characteristics of human habitation: neighborliness, environmental sustainability, economic efficiency and prosperity, historic preservation, participation in civic processes, and human health.” -American Planning Association
Elements of New Urbanism
Walkability
De-emphasis of the Car
Buildings have more than one function Residents are from varied economical and social backgrounds
Design
Reduced road and parking access Public transportation increase
Mixed-Use and Diversity
Functional for the pedestrian
Modern spin on traditional downtown
Community
Communal and civic pride increased
Walkability
Everything – housing, work, shopping – within 10 minute walk Street-level shopping, window-watching Large sidewalks with easy access to different blocks across the downtown
De-Emphasis of the Car
Expanded use of public bus lines or light rail Due to reliance on walking, cars will be parked in rear garages and alleys Narrower roads to slow traffic and discourage driving
Mixed-Use & Diversity
Zoning practices have restricted buildings to one use, New Urbanism expands availability
Commercial 1st floor, office 2nd floor, residential above
Mixed-Use & Diversity (contd.)
Different building uses allow different size apartments and lofts Large range of cost, includes affordable housing in many developments Creates diversity of people and backgrounds living in one contained area
