The Charter of New Urbanism

The Charter of the New Urbanism is a set of guiding principles promoting walkable, sustainable, and community-focused neighborhoods. It encourages designing cities that prioritize people over cars, with accessible public spaces, diverse housing options, and mixed-use developments that combine homes, work, and leisure. The goal is to create neighborhoods that foster social interactions, reduce environmental impact, and enhance quality of life. Essentially, it aims to reshape urban areas into more human-centered, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environments that support vibrant and resilient communities.
