NUSTIC 2011 - New Urbansim and Smart Transport International Conference in Perth

The New Urbanism is a vision that is becoming a reality in a few new communities. New Urbanism claims to offer a real, smart growth
method 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.
