Their ideas are called New

300-500 New Urbanism projects
planned or being built in the
United States. One
example is Vermillion,
a new neighborhood in
Huntersville, North
Carolina.
••
eurrently, many people live in
suburbs, large residential
areas oUlside major cities. In these
areas slOres, schools, and work
places are often far away from
people's homes.
These communities
sometimes have no
center. Cars are a
necessity. Parents
drive their children
lO school, and they
drive lO the slOres.
People don't walk
very mucho They don't see or talk
lO their neighbors on the street.
Now sorne lOwn planners and
architects are designing small,
integrated lOWDS,where it's
New Urbanism
There's a new approach to town and city

sometimes does radio commercials. He is very artistic too.
He can draw and paint, and he makes jewelry. He makes
beautiful gifts for his friends. And he's a good cook!
It's difficult to find something Richie can't do. He plays the guitar and
drums, but he can't play the trumpet. He can't speak French, but wants
to learn. He thinks that people can do anything if they have confidence
and believe they can. He says, "If someone asks me if 1
know how to do something, 1 say, 'Sure 1 can,'
and then 1 go and buy a book to learn!"
