Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. (DPZ) has recently

Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. (DPZ) has recently undertaken several new urbanist retrofits of conventional communities already under construction. In the firm’s first foray inside the Charlotte, North Carolina, city limits, DPZ conducted a charrette in September for a town center in the Steel Creek community. Developer Cambridge Partners had already begun building homes in accordance with a hybrid new urbanist plan. In Richland County, South Carolina, a town center and retrofitted neighborhood plans were designed in Lake Carolina, currently under construction as a 600-acre “quintessential, conventional planned unit development with homes separated into price point pods,” according to Tom Low of DPZ.
