Overview
This is an examination of the New Urbanism movement that started in Florida with the development of Seaside, FL (by Robert Davis). That plan led to the development of several New Urbanism towns including Celebration (by the Walt Disney Company), Abacoa (by the MacArthur Foundation), Harmony (by James and Martha Lentz), and Windsor (by Galen and Hilary Weston). It looks at the massive 300,000 acres development by Deseret Ranch and Citrus Company (owned by the Church of the Latter Day Saints) that could include as many as ten New Urbanism towns, the first of which, Sunbridge, is under construction. It also examines the evolution of New Urbanism in what is called New Urbanism Hybrids that include several developments based on new technologies, redevelopment of older areas, and even a religious town created by the founder of Domino's Pizza.
This concept is the most interesting architecture and planning concept in recent history, and while Florida is the showcase, New Urbanism towns are built and under construction all over the country and even internationally.
