Seaside: 25 Years Later

"The little town of Seaside, a resort on the Florida panhandle that was founded in 1982, has had a remarkably big impact on the American landscape. The community features traditional architecture and a compact layout—central components of a planning philosophy that has come to be known as new urbanism—and its example has since changed the way that many new communities are designed."

As part of the 25th anniversary, Witold Rybczynski revisits the community to see how it has held up with age.
