Talk:List of examples of New Urbanism

message: I just removed the entry for Summerset at Frick Park in Pittsburgh.  I looked up that development and while it has sidewalks and a high density of homes, it's a conventional one-way-in, one-way-out setup for a housing development, and it seems to be all-residential--I don't see any evidence of commercial or mixed-use buildings in the neighborhood.  New Urbanism is more than just pedestrian friendly--it encompasses other factors such as interconnected streets and a mixing of commercial/residential buildings, centering of the development around community institutions, and emphasizing the local architecture and ecology.  I see in this development a pedestrian-friendly street, variety in housing types, and a nod to the local architecture, and that's it.  That's arguably New Urbanism influenced, but that's not New Urbanism.
I think we need independent sources to verify that something indeed constitutes an example of New Urbanism, or else any developer could promote their pet project on this page.  Real estate developers are quick to jump on any hot new fad--and as much as I love New Urbanism it's unfortunately seen and used this way by many developers.  Because of this profit motive I think we need to be very cautious about including anything on this page.  In the absence of outside sources, I think we should avoid adding anything to this list that meets only a few of the characteristics of new urbanism.
I'd encourage other people to scan this list and do some research and remove other entries.  Also I'd enocurage people to change this from a list into prose--it's more suitable for wikipedia! Cazort (talk) 23:55, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Removal of entries / Standards for this page 

message: This is just gentrification along the Milwaukee River. Nearly all development is upscale and residential -well beyond the reach of any but the most wealthy (most residents have moved there from outside the area). No mixed income or mixed use development, and no discernible neighborhood center. Any tag of "new urbanism" is only a marketing ploy to sell low quality over-priced condo's to ex-Chicagoans.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.102.246.111 (talk) 21:18, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
