Charter for the New Urbanism

The Charter for the New Urbanism is a guiding document that promotes designing cities and neighborhoods to be walkable, sustainable, and high-quality places to live. It emphasizes compact, diverse, and connected developments that reduce reliance on cars, foster community interaction, and protect the environment. The charter encourages mixed-use areas, affordable housing, public spaces, and thoughtful planning to create vibrant, livable environments. Its goal is to improve urban life by balancing growth with community needs, making cities more functional, attractive, and resilient for everyone.
