CONCEPTS OF NEW URBANISM: TRANSTECT DEVELOPMENT OR TRANSECT PLANNING

Abstract

Today, the principles of New Urbanism, a concept that has been developed from the idea of a garden city, are developing quite actively in urban planning. This is due to the presence of problems in cities, which are due to the rapid pace of urbanization and its impact on the natural frame and comfort of the urban environment. Research in this area was conducted by such foreign theorists and urban planning practitioners as E. Howard, P. Geddes, J. Jackobs, I Gale, L. Krier, A. Duany, etc. One of the main provisions on which the concept of New Urbanism is based is transsector development or split planning (transect planning). It is designed by Andres Dauny and is a series of smoothly replacing each other zones from suitable to urban with certain parameters. The article considers the design of the neighborhood as one of the ideas of the movement of new urbanism. The design principle and the subsequent development of this idea begins to be traced to the works of Jane Jacobs in the United States, Leon Krier in Europe and the Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) projects of Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Ziberk. A comparison is made with the Conventional Suburban Development was presented, and then the development of transect planning and transect levels and their characteristics. It is revealed that TND is based on the principles of urban planning and architecture, which work together to create pedestrian, and multifunctional and sustainable communities. They can be applied to any distribution projects within the city, communities, and also suburbs.
