"New Urban News’ annual survey identified 155 projects completed or in some stage of construction, up from 124 last year. This 25 percent increase marks a slower rate of growth than in 1999, when projects under construction rose by 28 percent. Counting the projects still in planning, the total number of new urbanist projects in the US jumped from 252 in 1999 to 306 in 2000." The New Urban News is not online, but does include a brief description of each of the stories in the October/November 2000 issue.
