Description
The New Urbanism is a vision that is becoming a reality in a few new communities. New Urbanism claims to offer a real, smart growthmethod of town and city planning that will repair cities and make them the livable, vital things they once were.
New Urbanism and smart growth involves much more than light rail transportation. Planners, governments, and smart growth
advocates around the world are talking about a more comprehensive transportation overhaul, one that includes mass transit between
and within cities and bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The key here is less reliance on cars only and stronger relationships between
transportation systems and the communities themselves.
The New Urbanism International and Smart Transport 2011 Conference aims to inspire and connect professionals, public servants, academics and citizens, bringing international keynote speakers and participants to seek, develop, and exchange views on innovative New
Urbanism, Sustainable Urbanism, Road Management and Transit Oriented Development (TOD). They will share ideas and experiences
to support the community, educational institutes, government bodies and other organisations.
