New Urbanism

The new urbanism  is actually a contemporary idea or approach used in  contemprary development planning to change the look of the existing cities. This model is actually derived from old idea but aiming at redeveloping  the exidting form of cities to be more efficient , and sustainable. As there have been many development  issues physically, economically and socially  created within the existing cities, the modern planners are working to address the existing issues by improving the connectivity, implementing mix-used development model. Jane jacobs's contributed a very important idea in reshaping the existing cities. She advocated for the abolitions of zoning law and proposing for the  restoration of free markets in land that would possibly result in dense and mixed-use neighborhoods.. she also hightlited the creation of vibrant urban community.. even though at first her idea was purely opposed by other planners, eventually those opponents also support her ideas of moving the existing city.
