New Urbanist/Walkable Towns, Villages, Cities in Wisconsin???
Instead of bothering to explain the concept of New Urbanism or New Pedestrianism with text (since it'd probably be much too long-winded), I've hyperlinked a trailer for an upcoming documentary called "New Urban Cowboy," which I think adequately imparts the principles on which these movements are centered.
Are there any walkable/livable towns, villages, or cities in Wisconsin that follow this model? I'm not so much looking for a newly constructed development, but just a town or city that is designed with mixed-use, intermodal structures. Are there any plans to integrate these ideas into existing towns? Is there any kind of grassroots movement pushing for these principles?
From what I've seen in pictures and read on this forum, Madison and La Crosse seem to employ plenty of these elements into their design. Are there any smaller, less obvious examples?
