Duany and Plater-Zyberk : Traditional Neighborhood Development
Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND ) and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) are two other outstanding forms of Neo-traditional development.
As in the earlier movements, the Neo-traditional neighborhood is defined by edges and a well-defined center. However, there is less emphasis on a fixed size. Neo-traditional neighborhood movement is more focused on the catchment area of daily needs and the placement of facilities within walkable distances. Instead of carving out the neighborhood from the urban fabric, it has tried to establish a seamless integration across various scales. In his theory of transect , Duany argues that a continuum from neighborhood to rural environment is needed to create an integrated landscape, where “all the component elements reinforce each other”.
They have been influenced by earlier planners such as Clarence Perry, Raymond Unwin, John Nolen, and Christopher Alexander.
Their design philosophy which was first applied to Seaside, Florida, has widely diffused over the past three decades.
The basic constituting elements of this approach are “the neighborhood, the district, and the corridor”.
