New Urbanist Code

A New Urbanist Code is a set of design guidelines that shape how neighborhoods and communities are developed. It promotes walkable, mixed-use areas with a balance of homes, shops, and public spaces, encouraging a sense of community and reducing reliance on cars. The code emphasizes thoughtful street layouts, accessible public transportation, and sustainable building practices. Its goal is to create vibrant, safe, and environmentally sustainable neighborhoods that foster social interaction, contribute to local economies, and improve overall quality of life. Essentially, it guides urban design to make neighborhoods more livable, connected, and attractive.
