• W274795800 abstract "New Urbanism as a Counter-Project to Post-Industrialism Ellen Dunham-Jones In Phoenix, residential develop- ment has sprawled against the base of South Mountain Park. Photo: Todd W. Bressi New Urbanism’s unusual combination of neotraditional styling and progressive attempts at social reform has made strange bedfellows out of its liberal and conser- vative critics. Bashed from the left as conservative nostalgia and bashed from the right as liberal social engineering, New Urbanism has an uncanny way of attracting uncommon enemies and advocates. 1 Urbanism, “new” or otherwise, is far too complex to advance purely right- or left-wing agendas, and cri- tiques of New Urbanism that attempt to dispose of it neatly on ideological grounds tend to be grossly over- simplified. New Urbanism has been able to attract a surprisingly diverse following precisely because it cannot be easily reduced to a single agenda, as its crit- ics claim. As a forum and a model, it merges popular, pragmatic, critical, idealistic and subversive strategies, allowing for many interpretations. I find myself attracted to New Urbanism not for its tradi- tionalism, but for its radicalism; not for its capitulation to market forces, but for its critical defiance of them; not for its formulaic responses, but for its truly multi-disci- plinary approach. I admire New Urbanism’s commitment to a political process of mobilizing and empowering communities to challenge the pattern, regulations and financing of seemingly out-of-control sprawl. Where many of my academic and architect colleagues see Luddite reactionaries resisting progress by indulging in nostalgic simulations of the past, I see committed reformers critical of the status quo debating and sharing multiple strategies and scales of alternative forms of development. In a post-industrial world dominated by the placelessness of digital media and global transac- tions, I see New Urbanism as a counter-project to post-industrialism. How do we determine if such a position is reactionary or revolutionary? Assuming continued advances in computer and telecommunication technologies, post- industrialism promises peace and harmony through global economic interrelationships and unlimited access to information. These, in turn, will presumably lead to abundant goods equitably distributed, laborless leisure and self determination. This view portrays the decentralized and dematerialized post-industrial world as a very progressive place. 2 Architects like Frank Gehry and Bernard Tschumi make extensive use of digitally mediated design processes that expressively endorse the promise of a post-industrial future of unlimited possibilities. Similarly, Rem Koolhaas and Peter Eisenman embrace the freedom represented by the speed, mobility and malleability of digital, nomadic, post- industrial culture. Koolhaas argues for a “lite urban- ism” that ridicules traditional preoccupations with matter and substance. 3 But post-industrialism has a dark side as well. The pace of innovation in digital technologies has been matched by an ever-widening income gap between rich and poor. As the economy has become more integrated globally, it has become increasingly decentralized locally. In U . S . metropolitan areas, sixty to eighty-five percent of real estate development during the past thirty years has occurred on exurban peripheries. 4 The resulting landscape of decentralized, disconnected PLACES 13:2" @default.
