Conclusion
The beginning of both Urban Husbandry and New Urbanism is
criticism of automobile-centered development. Perhaps the greatest challenge is,
rather than refurbishing older urban pedestrian development or creating new
suburban pedestrian development, to introduce pedestrianism into the older
automobile suburbs, where it has never existed. Several plans have been created
to turn older suburban shopping centers into New Urbanist neighborhoods,
including The Crossings in Mountain View, California and Mashpee Commons in
Mashpee, Massachusetts. (Urban Ecology,
p. 66; Katz, pp. 169-177) Perhaps
it is here where Urban Husbandry, concerned with refurbishing older districts,
and New Urbanism, concerned with pedestrianism in the suburbs, can most
effectively be combined.
