New Urbanists, Perplexed, Respond To Mr. Carson

Over 70 prominent members New Urbanism's professional community respond to a recent essay by a Mr. Richard Carson, who argues that New Urbanism is dead. "We were informed that we had died, while we were under the delusion that we were up and about, building and renovating communities all over the US and the world... Now we are in a quieter but much broader and more important stage, with hundreds of new and infill projects across the globe, and a new generation of zoning codes and standards taking root. Today we're doing the hard work of implementing, or re-implementing, timeless place making principles in a modern age: mixed use, complexity, diversity, and all the other alternatives to the failed principles of dysfunctional postwar sprawl."
