A Comparative Assessment of New Urbanist Neighborhoods: Durham, NC & Greenville, SC, Phillip Gao, Duke University Economics, created 10 December 2008, accessed 15 September 2013 (Restore and improve urban infrastructure)

New Urbanism is a concept in urban design that creates self-sufficient, walkable neighborhoods by combining high density residential infrastructure with a commercial, business, and social hub. New Urban neighborhoods use less grid-space for resources such as water and electricity and less gasoline per resident than the traditional suburban sprawl that surrounds downtown areas in cities that evolved after the invention of the automobile.
