URBAN PLANNING

The new wave of urban planning -- urbanism -- is decidedly anti-Suburbia. It’s also anything but new. But its urban planning principles are gaining new life as Americans grapple with higher energy, food, and other household costs. Architects, urban planners, and academics are redefining what’s now needed to create vibrant mixed-use towns and cities out of a discipline that started 25 years ago.
