摘要：

This article examines three "new communities" developed since the 1960s and planned as a response to early criticisms of urban sprawl: Irvine, California; Columbia, Maryland; and The Woodlands, Texas. Conceived as alternatives to sprawl, the developments used a number of techniques now proposed by proponents of smart growth. They also represent a best-case scenario for private-sector development: They had big land areas, rich developers, cutting-edge professionals, and visions that were maintained. However, problems with automobile dependence and housing affordability indicate limits to these innovations.
