LEVIN AND LOS ANGELES In the early 1980s, Brenda Levin was one of the chief engineers of a collective epiphany that the city of the perennial future had a past.

COSTS OF "DUMB GROWTH" The Congress for the New Urbanism aims to change the way the United States builds its cities and towns. We want regions that are made of thriving neighborhoods, connected by efficient, effective public transportation. We want neighborhoods that feel alive, where people from all walks of life can cross each other's paths and meet their needs. We call this form of development "new urbanism," and the policies that support it are called "smart growth."
