A central goal of planning concepts such as New Urbanism is to create livable and walkable neighborhoods that reduce dependence on cars and provide a densely packed array of housing, jobs, and commercial sites[1]. New Urbanism is a planning and development approach based on the principles of how cities and towns had been built for the last several centuries: walkable blocks and streets, housing and shopping in close proximity, and accessible public spaces[2]. The movement aims to improve the quality of life, encourage environmental sustainability, and make neighborhoods more aesthetically appealing[3].
In summary, the central goal of planning concepts such as New Urbanism is to create walkable, sustainable, and aesthetically appealing neighborhoods that reduce dependence on cars and provide a range of housing, jobs, and commercial sites within close proximity
