the general public needs to be more educated and care about New Urbanism.

i found this lecture so interesting that after watching this i searched for Andres Duany's other videos and found a video called "On the Edge: Latest views from Andrés Duany" from google video, in which in expanded his views on new urbanism. It's simply genious.

I live in Austin......I highly disagree with this guy on S.A. Downtown..... horrible to to base the whole existence of your D.T. on tourism and clutter a bunch of Chain food restaurants around a fake river......I go to Vegas for that...where I can gamble and drink for free......Come to Austin sometime and enjoy the Town Lake as a place for nature and conservation that sits 5 minutes walk from Density...

@jayandstacey1 Thank you. So there are plenty of good implimentations, then! Still, it's quite staggering to me how modernist ideals keep a pretty tight grip on urban planning, at least here in Europe. Neither market forces, nor politicians, do much to alter the course. There is also a misguided, elitist contempt against building "old fashioned style".

@grisbandet: This video is 30+ years old, and since then, Andres Duany's DPZ firm has designed about 300 such communities. So beyond popular awareness into popular implementation. This presentation was given in multiple places when the concept was brand new, I specifically recall watching the presentation given to Gaithersburg MD to convince them to allow Kentlands (Duany's second such project) to be built.

It looks a few years old - when is this from? Have these ideas reached some popular awareness in American debate of today?

NuHerbAndizm, can you please repost this videos in higher resolution? 480p or greater would be great. Or if you could provide the source, we'd be happy to do it.

Hi, please watch my video on Urban Sprawl :)

I live in San Antonio and barely anything has changed.

Sure, there are a few downtown developments here and there, but sprawl keeps moving into the countryside, far far away from downtown. San Antonio keeps annexing while letting growth spread out of control.

Awful planning... traffic is a mess, the city has no mobility
