(2007-09-04) New Urbanism Vs Drunk Driving

New Urbanism can reduce Drunk Driving. 30 to 40 adults stand talking in a small neighborhood park (Small Park), their conversation knots are overlaid by the delighted shouts of almost as many kids carousing like dog packs in the warm summer's twilight. They are all neighbors. Every Friday night, residents of the new urbanist community Bradburn Village in Westminster, Colorado gather for their weekly park party. Adults socialize over beer and wine while the kids play together. Bradburn is designed to encourage social interaction among neighbors, and judging by the packed park parties and the incredible number of social events here, it works.
