Describe what new urbanist designers are designing and why.
What will be an ideal response?
In response to concerns about negative health effects of urban sprawl as well as concerns about harm to the environment caused by automobile use, the new urbanist designers are designing suburban towns and updating urban areas with several features known to contribute to walkability. These features include houses with front porches; neighborhood spots for congregation; sidewalks; short blocks; good lighting; amenities accessible by foot; public transportation; mixed-used areas, including residences, businesses, offices, and recreation centers; and bike paths, tennis courts, parks, and golf courses. The hope is that these design features will contribute to resident activity and health and contribute to environmental sustainability. Researchers have found these design features to be associated with more physical activity in the neighborhood, and one research team found that the relationship holds when controlling for preexisting preferences for activity level, the selection issue noted earlier.
