如今新的城市理念已經完成了從 ”經濟可能性”到”生態必要性”的演變。規劃項目不再僅僅局限于 ”形式和空間”的締造，而必須關心自然進程和人類活動之間的關系。美國文化立足于城市，城市景觀（ 鱗次櫛比的摩天樓）在集體臆想中扮演一個主導角色。 現今大多數美國人生活在城市，從絕對數字上，美國目前擁有世界第三大城市人口，超過30%的人居住在多于過500萬居民的城市中。這些城市中心代表了雄厚的國家和全球經濟勢力。

幾十年來的城市理念一直基于網格和礦產， 致力于汽車和服務產業 ，追求效率和進步，而現今社會發現自身面臨一個饒有趣味的轉型：從追求經濟價值轉換到追求生態價值。我們的規劃和建筑平面，由此開始，詮釋了這些變化。新項目需要展示一種高度的靈活性，用以在形式和用途之間舒展。新城市主義將擁有生態和氣候目標，受益于對自然生態系統的尖端研究，以重新組織失衡的城市領土。

in the new urban thinking, "economic possibility" evolves into "ecological necessity". Planning projects can no longer be satis fi ed with the creation of "forms and spaces" but must now concern themselves with the relations between natural processes and human activities. American culture is city-based. the urban landscape (with clustered skyscrapers) plays a leading role in its collective imagination. A majority of Americans today live in cities. in absolute numbers, the United states actually has the world’s third largest urban population. More than thirty percent of Americans live in cities of more than fi ve million inhabitants.these urban centres represent a formidable force on national and global economics.

After decades of thinking of the city as gridded and mineral-based, dedicated to the car and the service sector, to ef fi ciency and to "progress", today urban societies fi nd themselves at the centre of an interesting shift: one transforming the values of economy into the values of ecology. Our planning and architectural languages will, from here on, account for these changes. new projects will need to demonstrate a superior flexibility in order to stretch wide between form and usage. A new urbanism will have biological and climactic objectives. It will bene fi t from advanced studies on complex natural and vital systems to help reorganize failed urban territories.
