New Urbanist Legacy

The New Urbanist legacy refers to a movement in urban planning that emerged in the late 20th century, promoting walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods that prioritize community and sustainability. It emphasizes the creation of vibrant public spaces, integration of residential and commercial areas, and reduced reliance on cars. New Urbanism advocates for designs that are human-scale, encouraging social interaction and accessibility. Influential principles include diverse housing options, pedestrian-friendly streets, and parks. Overall, this movement seeks to foster healthier, more connected, and environmentally responsible communities.
