A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Cities in the Sunbelt, with their own distinct development patterns, are the most rapidly growing urban centers in the country. Government programs and American life-style preferences spurred the growth of these cities, which are characterized by low density, open landscapes, spread out land uses, and automobile dependency. Traditional models of urban form do not work for the Sunbelt. The urban village concept developed by the City of Phoenix offers a new model, which practitioners are using to mitigate the urban problems in the Sunbelt.
