[edit] Change category name from New Urbanism to...

I have proposed changing the name of Category:New Urbanism.(My best alternative is Sustainable urban planning or Sustainable urban design but perhaps there is something more suitable.)

I do not think 'sustainable urban planning' or 'sustainable urban design' are good categories for this article. New Urbanism or TND (Traditional Neighborhood Development) are the best names to categorize his work, and they have frequently been used to do so. I think that the question of whether his work is 'sustainable' or not remains to be seen. Many of his projects could be disputed as not being sustainable developments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.203.61 (talk) 01:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Promotional piece

This article reads like it was written by his agent. Seaaron 18:33, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

thats b/c it looks very similar to his Bio on his company's web site --- looks like it was copy and pasted verbatim and a few words changes. http://www.calthorpe.com/bios/pcbio.htm
