New Urbanist Principles

New Urbanist principles advocate for designing neighborhoods that promote sustainable living and community engagement. Key ideas include creating walkable neighborhoods with mixed-use developments—where homes, shops, and offices are close together. The focus is on fostering vibrant public spaces, prioritizing public transportation, and encouraging diverse housing options. These principles aim to reduce reliance on cars, enhance social interactions, and improve overall quality of life, leading to more cohesive and resilient communities. Essentially, it’s about building places where people can live, work, and play in harmony.
