New Urbanism Influences Major Waterfront Project
A waterfront project in New Jersey is designed to encourages people to leave their cars behind.
"The Landings has been designed by architects advocating 'New Urbanism,' which, in the words of one of them, Ted Liebman, 'is really about providing people with the kind of lifestyle that preceded today's overdependence on the automobile.'
The project will include low- and mid-rise condominium buildings, town houses, duplexes and triplexes, all with shared courtyards, underground parking, and access to three waterside parks, retail shops, an international market selling ethnic food, restaurants and, eventually, a hotel."
