New UrbanismTheory and Practice
• New Urbanist principles• Established neighborhoods• Recent attempts at New Urbanist design
CE512
New Urbanist Principles• Neighborhoods compact, pedestrian-friendly, and mixed-use.
• Many activities of daily living should occur within walking distance. Street networks to encourage walking, reduce the number and length of automobile trips.
• A broad range of housing types and price levels. Diverse ages, races, and incomesessential to an authentic community.
• Transit corridors can help organize metropolitan structure. Appropriate building densities and land uses should be within walking distance of transit stops.
• Concentrations of civic, institutional, and commercial activity embedded in neighborhoods. Schools sized and located to enable children to walk or bicycle to them.
• A range of parks, from tot-lots and village greens to ballfields and community gardens, distributed within neighborhoods. Conservation areas and open lands to define and connect different neighborhoods.

Kevin Pastrick gets 37 months in Coffee Creek case
• Former Indiana Democratic Chairman Peter Manous took a kickback of $200,000 from the son of East Chicago Mayor Robert Pastrick in 1999.
• Kevin Pastrick and Manous paid carpenters' union boss Gerry Nannenga $65,465 to convince him to approve a $10 million investment from the union pension fund into Coffee Creek.
• The $10 million paid to Lake Erie Land was roughly twice what the property is worth.
• Was the $200,000 kickback on a $600,000 commission a bribe or a gratuity?
