Why a New Urbanist research agenda is needed

Abstract

This book seeks to answer the question: what do we need to know about the success, failure, and future prospects of creating walkable, diverse urbanism? Separating out what we already know from what we don’t know, the book moves forward with a research agenda aimed at helping to sustain the movement for walkable, diverse urbanism—that is, New Urbanism. As it turns out, there is a lot we still need to know about creating and sustaining good cities.
