Resumen de The New Urbanism and English Residential Design Guidance: A Review
New Urbanism has generally been seen as a North American phenomenon with a relatively minor impact and profile in other countries. While there may be a number of reasons for this, this paper explores how the intended or desired "product" of the New Urbanism differs from the intended product of a new generation of English residential design guidance. It does this by comparing recent guidance for residential design in England contained in a number of documents with the principles set out in the Charter of the New Urbanism. Identifying and assessing points of convergence and divergence, it seeks to assess whether convergence represents universally applicable principles of "good" residential design and to explain and account for any significant divergence.
