Infill and New Urbanism Are Madison's New Official City Policy

"After three years of preparation, the city of Madison is set to adopt a sweeping comprehensive plan that reverses the trend of sprawling growth in the last half-century."

"Instead, it envisions more dense, attractive projects filling parking lots and replacing single-story strip malls - while respecting the character of older neighborhoods. And it promotes 'New Urbanist' mixed-use neighborhoods on the outskirts where people can rely less on cars while preserving farmland and open spaces."
