Challenges Facing the Modern Urban Space — Unit test

Question 6 • W Geography_B_IC

All of the following are examples of new urbanism, except __________.

Answer
A
the creation of mixed-use live-work condominiums
B
the development of luxury loft apartments in a renovated factory building
C
the idea of five-minute planning: making living spaces that are a five-minute walk from all necessary destinations
D
the building of a one-stop shopping big-box retail store to save time and provide convenience

Explanation

New urbanism encourages walkable neighborhoods with mixed-use spaces and everyday destinations close together. Mixed-use live-work condominiums and five-minute planning fit that approach, and renovating a factory into lofts can be part of urban revitalization. A one-stop big-box store is not the best example because it concentrates shopping in a large retail site rather than creating a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood.
