520			_aDesign codes as strict planning rules are being piloted in the UK by the ODPM as a route to better urban design and to the speeding up of housing development in urban areas. Looks at this approach, which has its origins in the new urbanist architectural movement in the USA. New urbanism aims to control sprawl development while maintaining permeability, allowing greater freedom of movement. Reviews the virtues and defects of new urbanism and provides a timeline of British urbanism.
