New Urbanism is a architectural method started in 1998, as a alternative to the urban sprawl or (conventional suburban development) which became popular after World War II. New Urbanism creates communities which are mix-use and compact. New Urbanism looks to incorporate the lost architectural features of a town center. In addition, unlike sprawl it considers the person who does not have a car. Therefore, a community which is planned according to new urbanism principles is scalable and walkable.
There are over 600 communities in the Unites States that are built according to the principles of New Urbanism. For more information about New Urbanism please visit:
