"Our Times offer an historic opportunity for society to rethink where and how we live, work, play, and shop. The path to a sustainable lifestyle builds on the principles of smart growth, new urbanism, and green buildings. If successful, it will not only vastly reduce environmental harm but also offer stunning enhancements to the current quality of life. The setting for this lifestyle is Sustainable Urbanism, the creation and support of communities that are so well designed for a high quality of life that people will eagerly opt to meet their daily needs on foot and transit." Doug Farr, Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature.
