New Urbanism is an urban design and planning philosophy that emerged in the late 20th century as a response to the challenges of suburban sprawl and the decline of traditional, walkable neighborhoods. This movement promotes the creation of sustainable, mixed-use communities characterized by features such as mixed land uses, pedestrian-friendly design, traditional architecture, and a strong emphasis on public spaces. It encourages the development of communities that foster social interaction, environmental sustainability, and a strong sense of place. New Urbanism aims to counter the negative aspects of modern urban and suburban development by reimagining the way we plan and build cities and neighborhoods, with a focus on walkability, public transportation, and social diversity. It has inspired numerous urban developments and influenced urban planning practices around the world.
