New Urban Network makes top 10 list

Some of the best websites for urban planning, design, and development, including New Urban Network, were recognized by Planetizen, a leading urban planning and development publication. The annual top 10 list announced on March 28 includes some great sites — such as the environmental news outlet Grist, The Codes Project, a site that catalogues land use regulations from the Code of Hammurabi to the Seaside Code, Street Films, a video website put out by the people who created Streetsblog, and six others.

Planetizen explains why New Urban Network was selected: "New Urban News was an essential but somewhat dated-looking website and newsletter for over a decade, one of the few news sources dedicated specifically to covering New Urbanism. With this new website, Robert Steuteville and Philip Langdon have made a significant upgrade, creating an essential resource for smart growth news. Langdon in particular seems to be everywhere at once, delivering high-quality articles at a breakneck pace. We also can't help but notice they're using Drupal, our CMS of choice."

New Urban Network launched in September of 2010.
