The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) is the leading organization promoting walkable, mixed-use neighborhood development, sustainable communities and healthier living conditions. For nearly twenty years, CNU members have used the principles in CNU's Charter to promote the hallmarks of New Urbanism, including: - Livable streets arranged in compact, walkable blocks. - A range of housing choices to serve people of diverse ages and income levels. - Schools, stores and other nearby destinations reachable by walking, bicycling or transit service. - An affirming, human-scaled public realm where appropriately designed buildings define and enliven streets and other public spaces.
