The New Urbanism: Kichijoji Style

American residential neighborhoods. I have visited numerous examples, including, 
example, Celebration, 
small town developed by Disney next door Disney World, 
the seaside development featured the movie Truman Show, regarded as a leading example of new urbanism.
No question about it, quality 
design is better neighborhoods deliberately created exemplify the new urban ideals. Places like the Seattle suburban Issaquah Highland neighborhood created by Peter Calthorpe, where Microsoft executives working class people, individuals recently released from jail live together neighbors, are truly impressive achievements. Returning Japan, however, it seems to me

understand implications the new urbanism, the place begin is Calthorpe’s Next American Metropolis(1993), which now famous architect urban planner calls a redefinition the American Dream. But understand what he means by “redefinition” 
need to ask, first, how the American Dream was originally defined.
original American Dream was, no doubt about it, the suburbs. the years following World War II, the dream an American metropolis emerged, in which, writes Calthorpe, the key elements were the suburbs the nuclear family.
suburbs would be filled with one-family houses, each with its own lawn garden. Those houses would be where housewives and children stayed while men went off work the city.
Now, however, families have become diverse. Some people never marry. Women go 
working after marriage. Divorce produces single-parent families. Gay couples form families. Residential areas, however, continue sprawl into suburbs. The 
of people commuting work by automobile increases. More more roads are built. Everyone seems assume land energy are unlimited, that jobs will be the city, only men will be working. The results are polluted air, decaying city centers, suburbs in 
private life becomes increasingly isolated.
Since these assumptions about suburbs and families are no longer tenable, a new American Dream must be imagined, providing a new vision cities and their suburbs and the metropolitan regions they comprise.
How, then, 
Calthorpe “redefine” American Dream? Diversity, simplicity, and human scale are its three key elements.
Diversity implies that communities exemplify the new American Dream will not be bedroom communities in white-collar workers, their wives and children live detached houses. Instead they will be places where 
different kinds families, people of 
social classes and different work styles live together. It will, thus, have include different types of housing. Besides housing it will have include workplaces and 
establishments.
Community will be important, and selfishness and isolation life existing suburbs will be criticized. Instead, an environment will be created by its very nature encourages communications among the neighbors who live there.
old American Dream, in my car and my home were central, emphasized private life. With growing dependence the automobile, opportunities meet people unlike oneself declined. People paid less attention to each other and became isolated, and the suburbs became hotbeds crime.
In increasingly lonely suburbs, the radius children’s activities shrank. Dependence television and video games increased. one study comparing children’s behavior in a small town in Vermont with that in Orange County, California, the children in Vermont were comfortable walking by themselves places three times distant. Childen in Orange County watched four times more television.
Simplicity and human scale mean rejecting sprawl created by dependence the automobile and creation walkable neighborhoods connected by public transportation. Homes, schools, parks, stores, and workplaces should all be within walking distance.
This, then, is new humanism advocated by Calthorpe his designs new communities and his visions for new types metropolitan regions. brings
