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.

Get the URBANITIS mug.An urbanista is an urban fashionista. An urbanista is (typically) a woman who is interested in fashion, especially high end and non-mainstream fashion and who also has an in-depth knowledge of the best people, places, and things her city has to offer. She knows where to find those stylish Italian boots noone else wears yet, who to call to get the best table at the trendiest restaurant in town and what gallery to contact if your are an up-and-coming artist. An urbanista is selective, but never snobbish, intellectual, but also street smart. She is a living "insider's guide" to the city.
- This is an amazing restaurant! I can't believe I've never heard of it before. How did you find it?
- My friend recommended it. She is a real urbanista. I always call her to get tips on the best places, people and shops in town.
