What is New Urbanism?
We advocate the restructuring of public policy and development practices to support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and population; communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically defined and universally accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology, and building practice.
In short, multi-disciplinary space (mixed-use neigborhoods, eg. work, home, leisure, education, sports sharing similar or adjacent spaces), that are walkable and are scaled to human traffic (as opposed to car conduits).
