Document Summary
New urban principle: renewal structure that resembles what the urban structure is. Planning theory that"s suppose to reshape the suburbs in the same way that the downtown urban area is already shaped. When it comes to the suburbs, which were mainly built after wwii, a time where a car was a common way of transportation. The suburbs tend to be located far from downtown. Typical structures: big residential houses, usually detached, with 1 or 2 door garages, along with a big backyard. New urbanists: planning theory that opposes everything that suburbs are. The typical structure is a structure that is making communication between people more difficult; people don"t really work close by, they have to take the car to work. > have places where people can meet (community centre) > put the garage at the back, detached from the house. > you"re forced to enter the home, you have a chance to meet your neighbours.
