Get the Urbanism mug.Urbanism is the fascination with and desire to improve cities. Most urbanists despise suburbs and want to increase population density in cities. Most urbanists also want expansion of public transit, due to negative environmental and land use effects of cars, as well percieved negative social impacts of their use.
There are different factions within the urbanist movement, such as left-wing urbanists, who advocate rent for rent control, public housing, and free public transit; market urbanists, who believe that zoning laws should be relaxed or eliminated and that rent control would cause less housing to be built; New Urbanists, who have a particular focus on walkable communities, and green urbanists, who particularly value sustainability and emissions reductions. However, all urbanists agree that actions need to be taken to decrease sprawl and car use, and that cities need more population density.
