New new towns?

- Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) 15 October 2004, 11(1) .
"A programme for sustainable development" has been published by the Town and Country Planning Association. The report harks back to the roots of the new town movement and suggests that a new version of these may be the way forward for sustainable development. It puts forward the proposal that mixed-use walkable communities of 20 000 to 30 000 people would be large enough to support high-quality urban life, yet small enough to avoid reliance on cars.
