A dynamic architectural and planning movement, taking strength since the 1980s, that fights sprawl through designs that favor pedestrian interaction, mixtures of diverse residential and commercial uses, elegant public spaces, environmental sensitivity and the “neo-traditional” ambience of American small towns. Championed by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk of Miami, FL, the primary completed projects are the 1982 Seaside, Florida (seen in the 1998 Truman Show) and Kentlands, Maryland—both relatively elite suburban developments. New Urbanism, nonetheless, has been championed subsequently as a formula to rebuild community in inner cities as well, although its costs and assumptions about design shaping behavior have been called into question.
