Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This book seeks to
answer the question: what do we need to know about the success,
failure and future prospects of creating walkable, diverse
urbanism? Separating out what we already know from what we don't,
it advances a research agenda aimed at helping to sustain the New
Urbanism movement. As the book clearly demonstrates, there is a lot
we still need to learn about creating and sustaining good cities. A
wide array of topics are covered, from big picture concerns about
the need for more theory development, to more fundamental topics
like sustaining urban retail and encouraging multi-modal
transportation. The authors explore research needs from the social,
environmental, and economic sides of New Urbanism, from small-scale
DIY tactics to large-scale policy platforms like the UN's New Urban
Agenda, from zoning reform to autonomous vehicles and climate
change. New Urbanism is a large topic, and the research needed to
sustain it is equally large. We still need to know - in a more
rigorous way - whether, and how, New Urbanist principles are ever
achieved, whether the outcomes associated with a particular
implementation strategy are providing environmental, social and
economic benefits as claimed, and what the best strategy might be
for fulfilling each goal. This unique book offers profound and
intriguing insights into the development and growth of New
Urbanism. It will be required reading for students and scholars of
urban planning and design, and urban studies more broadly.
