	About New Urbanism
		New urbanists take a wide variety of approaches — some work exclusively on infill projects, others focus on transit-oriented development, still others are attempting to transform the suburbs, and many are working in all of these categories.
		That blending of old and new is the basis of the adjective neotraditional, a term that carries a lot of baggage, especially with modernists, who see it as an architectural "style." However, it is more of an urban design approach that borrows from the past while adapting to the present and future.
		New urbanists also must prove, over time, that their ideas are superior for both revitalizing old cities and towns and building new communities.

		New Urbanist theorists have promoted schemes to restructure or "infill" existing urban neighborhoods, but these plans are often stalemated due to economic and legal impediments.
		But what he is leery of is the prospect of New Urbanism becoming a media and marketing juggernaut that will take the emphasis off of the much more urgent need to revitalize older urban and first-tier suburban areas that offer little to entice middle-class homebuyers.

		This paper deals with New Urbanism in the broad sense of prescribing public policies for the built environment as a whole rather than solely in the narrowest sense of examining the pros and cons of New Urbanist communities (although the latter interpretation is also considered).
		Hence, the practical consequences of New Urbanism continue to be a small number of relatively small communities accommodating a miniscule proportion of metropolitan population growth.
		New Urbanism has nothing to contribute to this discussion, in part because it believes, at least implicitly, that social problems are remediable by architectural and design prescriptions rather than by economic development.

	Why New Urbanism Fails \| Planetizen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
