new urbanism
Pedestrian-friendly city design
New urbanism is an urban planning movement that promotes walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods over car-dependent suburban sprawl.
It emphasizes traditional town design: streets on a grid, shops and homes close together, public spaces that encourage community interaction.
The development follows new urbanism principles, with apartments above storefronts and tree-lined sidewalks.
