Interesting essay on New Urbanism and "cool"

MOJ-friend Philip "I was urbanist before it was cool" Bess passes on this City Journal essay, by Catesby Leigh.  Among other things, it is noted that "the New Urbanists are to fulfill their movement’s vast potential as a force for cultural renewal, though, they must do a better job of addressing the public. One obstacle is their insular mentality."  I would add, "they must do a better of job of incorporating the experience and insights of faith traditions, and of purging any even-implicitly anti-religious elements from their proposed vision."
