New Urbanism: Comprehensive Report & Best Practices Guide

The objective of this report is to aid specialists in broadening their knowledge on all aspects of new urban community design and development. It is a resource for both novices and veterans of the industry. It covers New Urbanism’s many facets in a way that is comprehensive, detailed and organized for easy access of the information. The report discusses how, as we enter the middle of the first decade of this century, a shift is taking place in New Urbanism. Just a few years ago, a planner or developer stood alone, fight the tide of industry and bureaucracy in order to build a true neighborhood. Now more people are working together. Professionals and public officials from coast to coast are at least familiar with the concept and generally taking it seriously. New Urbanism has arrived. The challenge for those involved in the New Urbanism is that it calls for a different approach to just about every aspect of land planning and real estate - street networks, building design, financing, transportation, retail, employment centers, civic institutions, zoning and codes, inner city revitalization, and even the marketing of homes. It is the intent of the authors that this report will be a valuable resource and tool for those activities in this powerful and influential trend.
