“…Of these six categories, the one that most closely approximates to the Trent Basin development in Nottingham is 'new urbanism'. New urbanism is a design principle for urban development that emerged in the United States in the 1980s (Trudeau and Kaplan, 2016), chiefly in response to post World War Two suburban sprawl (Trudeau, 2013) and the need to revitalize cities suffering the effects of deindustrialization (Brain, 2005). Advocates of new urbanism argued that many cities' problems resulted from design mistakes made in the past.…”

With nearly one-third of the UK’s total consumption of energy devoted to the domestic household sector, sustainable housing developments have an important part to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to combat climate change. This study analyses a sustainable housing development in the city of Nottingham in the United Kingdom that takes the form not merely of a sustainable housing project, but rather an experiment in developing sustainable communities. In terms of green or eco-innovation, it incorporates innovations in housing design geared to curbing the demand for energy; technological innovations in energy supply centred on a novel community energy system; and innovations in the governance models employed. The scheme is notable for the novel public–private partnership carrying out the development, which specializes in developments characterized by an emphasis on quality urban design and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.

“…New Urbanism emphasizes the important role of the res publica, including public buildings and open spaces, in the reinforcement of community identity (Duany, 2013;Krier, 2009;Gehl, 1987). Other important principles are mixed use and diversity (Trudeau et al, 2015;Cysek-Pawlak, 2018). One of the goals of the guidelines of New Urbanism is to ensure the incorporation in a project mixed-use facilities, catering to the needs of socially diverse groups and in keeping with the original historical background.…”

Abstract This article contributes to the New Urbanism debate by considering the relationship between the identity of a place and quality in architecture and urban design. It combines a general theoretical discussion and an operational analysis with a comparative study of two commercial centres: Manufaktura in Łódź (Poland) and Val d’Europe in Marne-la-Vallée (France). It concludes that while the guidelines of New Urbanism can help both private investors and public stakeholders make better strategic decisions, according to the concept of quality architecture and urban design, its framework should be applied with care for community needs and the historical character of the city.

“…As the popularity of mono-functional districts (residential suburban enclaves and business districts deserted after 6 p.m.) is waning, the mixed use and diversity principle comes to the forefront today. The principle states that urban areas should have different functions and that their residents should vary in age, income, education, race and ethnicity (Schuyler 1997;Trudeau & Kaplan 2015;Foster et al 2016,). The research hypothesis to be tested is that mixed use and diversity are central to an effective renewal of neglected urban areas.…”

The revival of post-industrial areas, understood as a factor determining contemporary urban development, is a key process in regeneration. Such areas attract strategic renewal projects, because despite their perfect location next to city centres, they have long been inaccessible to city residents. The backbone of the projects is provided by programmes laying out the future functions of such areas and their target users. In the past, mono-functional districts were popular but their numerous weaknesses have meant that mixed use and diversity are increasingly being introduced into urban areas today. Mixed use and diversity underlie the urban design movement known as the New Urbanism. This article assesses the role of mixed-use and diversity as the New Urbanism principle guiding the renewal of post-industrial areas. It is based on desk research and a comparative analysis of two case studies: the Paris Rive Gauche (France) and the New Centre of Lodz (Poland). The article concludes that regeneration based on the New Urbanism principle of functional and user diversity leads to an effective renewal of run-down urban areas. The applicability of other New Urbanism principles stressing the need to ensure harmony between an urban design strategy and the human scale in the revival of urban neighbourhoods is also worth considering in the long term.
