Generosity

Generosity has been a high ideal of the New Urbanism since the beginning, embodied in the benevolence of Leon Krier in helping guide the early days of Seaside through its nascent planners DPZ, who had just launched their own firm. Generous urbanism can be made up of big moves like parks, greens, squares, and other civic spaces woven into the urban fabric, but it's not entirely altruistic because views into nature and other civic spaces has long been proven to boost the value of surrounding real estate substantially more than the value of land given to those spaces.
