Charter of New Urbanism
New Town of Seaside, Florida
by Andrés Duany & Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk
"The Congress of New Urbanism views disinvestment
in central cities, the spread of of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, environmental deterioration,
loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society's built heritage as one interrelated community-building
challenge.
We stand for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns within coherent metropolitan regions, the
reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural
environments, and the preservation of our built legacy."
Redevelopment of McAdenville, North Carolina
Seth Harry and Associates, Inc., Architects and Planners
"Redevelopment proposal for an existing historic mill village, 15 minutes from Charlotte, along a river
and with significant interstate frontage."
"We recognize that physical solutions
by themselves will not solve social and economic problems, but neither can economic vitality, community stability, and environmental
health be sustained without a coherent and supportive physical framework."
Windsor Town Center, Florida
by Duany & Plater-Zyberk
Architecture by Scott Merrill and Georg Pastor
"We advocate the restructuring of public
policy and development practices to support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and population;
communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically
defined and universally accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed by architecture
and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology, and building practice."
