Description

New Urbanism is an urban planning concept developed in response to the problems caused by rapid urbanization and uncontrolled suburban expansion. It is characterized by an integrated and sustainable approach that addresses current challenges related to climate change, population growth, and limited resources. One of the main trends in contemporary urbanism is sustainable development, which involves designing cities to minimize resource consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Green buildings, the conversion of old buildings, the use of renewable energy, and efficient public transport are essential components of this model. The integration of green spaces and urban parks also contributes to improving air quality and provides residents with areas for recreation and relaxation. Moreover, technology plays a crucial role in the new generation of urbanism. Smart cities utilize information and communication technology to optimize urban infrastructure and services. Community participation is also a vital component of modern urbanism. Engaging citizens in the urban planning process ensures that their needs and desires are considered, thereby promoting social cohesion, equitable development, and the formulation of urban policies that reflect the community's aspirations. Urban mobility is integrated into urban planning to reduce reliance on automobiles and to create more accessible, healthier cities, offering faster and more reliable public transport services. Authors, based on extensive studies and research, develop the concept of the new generation of urbanism, which focuses on sustainability, technological innovation, and community participation. The goal is to create resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly cities.
