Adaptive Planning and the Crusade for New Urbanism with Matthew Lambert – Ep. 67

About the Guest

We can’t wait to share this next conversation with all of you. Today on the show we have Matthew Lambert. Matthew is a Partner at DPZ CoDesign. The firm has been a leader in the practice of planning and urban design for over 30 years. Their philosophy is the platform of New Urbanism, a movement promoting mixed-use, traditional neighborhood planning over the segregated-use suburban sprawl seen worldwide. As Co-founders of the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU), DPZ’s principals have been longtime advocates of urban growth through compact, pedestrian-oriented, transit-friendly communities that continue to shape policy and have recently influenced new sustainability codes.

In this episode, we learned about the persistent issues that have perpetuated the suburban sprawl movement. We discussed how many of the outdated regulations have led to a car-centric model. Last, but not least, we discussed how individuals and professionals in their community can begin to advocate for developments that are truly equitable and sustainable! There is tons of great information in this episode! I hope you enjoy!
