There is a critical need for a new paradigm of growth on undeveloped sites - one that complements urban infill and revitalization. The alternative transportation network proposed here calls for a new hierarchy of arterials and boulevards that allow for through traffic without always by-passing commercial centers - a road network that reinforces access to walkable neighborhoods and urban town centers without cutting them off from local pedestrian movement. A plan for new growth areas around Chicago proposes 3 types of major roads to replace the standard arterial grid: transit boulevards, throughways, and arterials. The transit boulevards combine the capacity of a major arterial with the intimacy of local frontage roads and the pedestrian orientation that comes with the transit system. Local arterials are multi-lane facilities that transition into a couplet of main streets at the village centers.

An excellent summary and rebuttal of the critiques of New Urbanism, with a very solid bibliography thrown in for good measure.

Good quotes: “Neoclassical economics is presented as a neutral methodology, when it actually prescribes a political theory favouring individual self-interest and consumerism over public-spirited behaviour and deliberative political choices.”

“[...] New Urbanism will not abolish traffic congestion. But all congestion is not equal. San Francisco and Paris have congestion, but the streets are alive, the quality of life is high, and alternatives to driving are plentiful. As many New Urbanists have pointed out, the worst-case scenario is really congestion in the suburbs, where the landscape is openly hostile to pedestrians and transit service is minimal.”

“Andrés Duany has trenchantly argued that it makes no sense to throw away all of our town-planning traditions in the vain hope that a few architectural masterpieces will result. This has produced `an appalling win-loss ratio', with hundreds of disasters littering the landscape for every masterpiece produced.”

Very interesting. Markham looks like it may be a good control case for future investigations. Having lived away from the GTA for many years, I was surprised to hear of consistent support for such policies from Markham, which was quite car-dependent in my time.

Overall, a bit mixed in quality. I found the carefully delineated distinction between smart growth, new urbanism and compact cities to be useful, although a bit short. The eco-city remains a concept I consider unworkable, and I found the evaluation of the different concepts to be a bit ridiculous.

A good quote from Edwards (1996): “architects have a larger share of responsibility for the world's consumption of fossil fuel and global warming gas production than any other professional group.”

Some interesting criticisms of New (Sub)urbanism as a rebranding of older modes of subdivision building, in the context of Vaughan. I didn't read the article very closely, and I'm not sure what the overall thrust is. My sense is that it builds on a quote from Lef91 to explore the urbanisation of the rural and the ruralisation of the urban.

This paper analyses the evolution of urban form in two North American metropolitan regions (Portland and Toronto) and asks how more sustainable regional form might come about in the future in these and other urban areas. In the past, dominant patterns of urban form have emerged in such regions at different historical periods. These morphological phases include mid 19th-century grids, streetcar suburb grids, garden suburbs, automobile suburbs and New Urbanist neighbourhoods (which have only recently made an appearance and may or may not become widespread). Judging by the performance of past types of urban morphology, five design values appear particularly important for more sustainable urban form in the future: compactness, contiguity, connectivity, diversity and ecological integration. Although these principles were not well supported by 20th-century development, contemporary movements such as the New Urbanism and Smart Growth re-emphasise them. The example of these two regions indicates that, in the absence of new technological, economic or geographical forces, public sector institutions and urban social movements represent the most likely means to bring about new, more sustainable types of urban form.
