Congress for the New Urbanism
Movement began in 1991 Collective plan of architects and planners:
Peter Calthorpe, Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Michael Corbett, Stefanos Polyzoides, Daniel Solomon and Elizabeth Moule
Awahnee Principles: goals of the movement
The region: Metro, city and town #7
“Cities and towns should bring into proximity a broad spectrum of public and private uses to
support a regional economy that benefits people of all incomes. Affordable housing
should be distributed throughout the region to match job opportunities and to avoid
concentrations of poverty”
The neighborhood, the district and the corridor #4
“Within neighborhoods, a broad range of housing types and price levels can bring people of diverse ages, races, and incomes into daily interaction, strengthening the personal and
civic bonds essential to an authentic community”
The block, the street, and the building #1
“A primary task of all urban architecture and landscape design is the physical definition of streets and public spaces as places of shared
use”
Jane Jacobs
“Streets and their sidewalks, the main public places of a city,are its most vitalorgans”
Peter Calthorpe
“Both need protected natural systems, vibrant centers, human scale circulation systems, a
common civic realm, and integrated diversity”
