New pedestrianism is a pedestrian-oriented version of new urbanism that aims to reduce reliance on automobiles. It creates walkable and bikeable communities by separating pedestrians from vehicle traffic. The document provides definitions of new pedestrianism and discusses its elements and principles. It also presents case studies of new pedestrianism projects in DeLand, Florida and Iskandar, Malaysia, comparing their designs, populations, and other characteristics. Both case studies incorporated features like rear vehicle access, pedestrian lanes, mixed uses, and connectivity between areas to promote walkability and sustainable transportation.

New Pedestrianism(NP) is an attempt to bridge the gap between the
automobile age and the information age by building towns for the future
that meet everyone’s needs.

History: mixed-use neighborhoods common during and prior to the first quarter of the 20th century. New
Pedestrianism borrows and then expands upon earlier experiments in urban design that focused on separating
pedestrians from vehicular traffic.
•Urban planners Ebenezer Howard and Sir Patrick Geddes were an earlier influence on the design of Radburn, New
Jersey, built at the dawn of the automobile age in 1929. Radburn had pedestrian lanes in front and vehicular access at
the rear on cul-de-sacs that protruded into large multi-use blocks
•Village Homes in Davis, California was founded in 1975 by Michael and Judy Corbett. The 70-acre (280,000 m2
)
subdivision has 225 homes and 20 apartments. Solar design and solar panels are utilized for heating. The homes have
walkways passing through an extensive greenbelt system on one side of the houses with automobile access on the

•By eliminating the front street and replacing it with a tree-lined pedestrian lane, emphasis
is placed on low-impact alternative travel such as walking and cycling
•Pedestrian lanes are usually 12 to 15 feet (5 m) wide, with one smooth side for rolling
conveyances such as bicycles,segways, and skates and the other, narrower, textured side for
pedestrians and wheelchairs

25. Road design guideline in Malaysia that prepared by JKR as known as ‘Arahan Teknik Jalan’ was
influenced by documents of US Association of State Highway Transportation Officials ‘A
Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets’. Thus, Road Layout Design Blueprint
for Iskandar Malaysia was documented because of following reasons:
• To prepare the design road layout especially for urban context area.
• To consider safety of citizens and sustainable ecology.
• To create economically vibrant commercial areas and liveable neighbourhoods.
• To consider land use context within Iskandar Malaysia area.
There are two factors performed as a basic for the design concept which need to be considered to provide
high quality urban road environment within Iskandar Malaysia area, they are:
a. Land Use Context.

New pedestrianism is a pedestrian –
oriented version of new
urbanism
Cities are exposed by sight,
smell, sound and dangers
presented by cars which is unhealthy
New pedestrianism eliminate automobile
from the front Street with pedestrian lane
that could lead to new healthy
lifestyle.
Because of the lack of pedestrian-friendly
environment, most adults suffer from
being overweight or obese.

CASE BY CASE
In conclusion, the pedestrian is the one type of CONCEPT for
urbanism. The checklist acts as the GUIDELINE to make sure that
the pedestrian is totally followed by the rule.
The pedestian at De Land, Florida is almost achieving the element for
pedestrianism. For example ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
USE. They do not use the electrical to feel more natural and keep the
environment cool. This is important to MAINTAIN the temperature in
surrounding. The electrical is replaced by the SOLAR ENERGY.
Iskandar, Johor also have new development for pedestrian system.
WORKABILIY and CONNECTIVITY is the one type of
element in the checklist. The pedestrian is the way how to control the traffic
jam and conflict between users and vehicle. Beside, the its also HELP
the environment from the pollution.
