New Urban Mom

One of the great benefits of New Urbanism is how its design principles foster greater community engagement and conversation. A wonderful site from Sharon McMillan, http://newurbanmom.com, illustrates this tenet in action. On her blog, McMillan shares anecdotal pieces from her life that are obviously informed and enhanced by her new urban community.

NewUrbanMom.com is a direct-from-the-source look into how new urbanism is not just a theory regarding community development in a "best-of-all-possible" worlds scenario, but rather a practical, balanced, quality-of-life centered approach towards building sustainable and engaging communities. By encouraging better design, CNU and its partners also encourage better conversation and better living. NewUrbanMom.com expresses this greatly.
