Abstract
New Communities are again being promoted as an alternative to sprawling urban growth. This paper
uses the results of a unique survey of the real estate development communities in the U.S. and U.K.
to examine the likelihood that future New Communities will provide the array of amenities necessary
to create developments that provide a true alternative to sprawl. Based on an analysis of this data we
conclude that while developers do envision New Communities as more amenity rich than much of the
suburbanmaster-plannedcommunities ofthe lastfew decades,they arenonetheless stilllikely toproduce
developments that have an insufficient array of amenities to make future New Communities a strong
alternative to sprawl.
