Is Support for Traditionally Designed Communities Growing? Evidence From Two National Surveys

The document introduces a study designed to evaluate public support for traditionally designed communities—characterized by mixed residential and commercial land uses and pedestrian connectivity—as an alternative to the dominant suburban development model.

• Traditionally designed communities, which integrate residential and commercial land uses with pedestrian connections, are identified as providing potential benefits for health, society, and the environment.
• While the planning community advocates for replacing the dominant suburban development model with traditional styles, existing evidence regarding the level and nature of public support for this shift has been primarily anecdotal.
