Description: This study uses both surveys and electoral data to look at the political attitudes and voting patterns of residents of New Urbanist communities. It finds that the voting patterns in each neighbourhood depend on the type of New Urbanist community; whether a development adheres to the principles of the Charter for the New Urbanism or is simply loosely influenced by it. The explanatory factors behind this are explored along with resident opinions' of their neighbourhood. Other topics pertinent to New Urbanism are discussed, such as the influence of social capital on political attitudes and the success of New Urbanism in fostering tightly-knit communities.
