Founded in 1980 by internationally famous designers, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, DPZ’s goal is to develop and grow thriving communities. Their focus is on cities, towns and neighborhoods, which encourage walking, diversity and complexity. As the face of ‘New Urbanism’, Andres Duany is the Master Plan Designer for Town Madison. The universal principles of the New Urbanism movement are to promote the creation of real communities with pedestrian-oriented, transit-ready neighborhoods. These neighborhoods encourage mixed uses, and allow the landscape to shape their streets. These principles project a sustainable quality of life that competes with the conventional suburban dream.
