Charter for New Urbanism

The Charter for New Urbanism is a set of principles that promotes designing towns and cities to be more sustainable, walkable, and community-oriented. It encourages mixed-use development, where homes, shops, and workplaces are close together, making it easier to access daily needs without cars. The goal is to create neighborhoods that are attractive, functional, and environmentally friendly, fostering a sense of community and reducing urban sprawl. Overall, it advocates for urban design that enhances quality of life, supports local economies, and respects natural resources.
