If I said I believe that urbanity should follow the following precepts, what would you say:

• 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.

Now, what if I told you these precepts were the foundation of New Urbanism?
Yeah, I don’t know what to think of that either.
