Abstract


New Urbanism is not just for new developments. Its principles can be applied to existing neighborhoods to enhance a sense of community by making it more walkable. Installation of wider sidewalks, furniture zones for benches, street lamps, crosswalks, and traffic calming features naturally draw people to walk, shop, linger, and hang out. In my narrative, I invite people to discover East Atlanta Village, a small, but thriving community that has been retrofitted with walkability features that are pedestrian friendly. The narrative consists of three vignettes that touch on the aforementioned New Urbanism features as the narrator guides the viewer on his trip to the local coffee shop.
