    It is time for a thread on traditional urbanism, or town planning 13th century style. I will dispel some myths of modern dis-urbanism.

    Dan Camp's Cotton District is today a beacon of inspiration for traditional urbanists and New Urbanists from around the world. If you're interested to learn more I recommend starting reading here:

    He started out completely opposite of every other developer in the world: by building first at the ugliest and least attractive places, saving the better places for last. Dan's work is closely followed by the New Urbanism people like Andres Duany of Seaside, Florida.

    By creating a beautiful walkable village his project drew great demand, even benefiting the people who had remained after the original mill closed in 1964. Treating each individual house differently he could pace himself to match demand, allowing the village to mature naturally.

    Dan opened his own on site mill to make the architectural details he felt the houses needed. Construction was quick and playful. Concrete details, statues, fountains, etc. were also made in a local shop. He even designed and had made the red bricks that make up the sidewalks.

    To make the town even livelier he sought and got permission to build houses with businesses on the bottom floor and apartments above, and encouraged locals and students to open up the kind of businesses that they themselves wanted, restaurants, bars, bookstores etc.

    He gained the trust of the local council and as the district grew, about 10 new houses per year, he was allowed to try out new things: narrower streets, parking spaces hidden out back, plenty of greenery buildings as small as 300 square feet.

    No architect himself, but a good builder, Dan would make rough napkin sketches and build each house in its own way, mirroring the best of the vernacular southern and neoclassical architecture he could find in New Orleans, Charleston, Alexandria etc. Perfect for Mississippi.

    Between 1926 an 1964 the area had been home of the workers at cotton mill, the plots were custom sized to fit their needs: short fronts and long back, to fit as many as possible of the worker families. The long back provided ample space for gardens, laundry etc.

    A village built to the human scale in the middle of an American town. Dan Camp's extraordinary Cotton District proves it can be done. Buying underdeveloped land in Starkville Miss. Dan started building the the kind of village he thought university students wanted to live in...

    The old walled city of Shibam, Yemen, has been inhabited at least since the 3rd c., an example of perfect desert urbanism. A pop. of 7000 living on 0.03 square km (three times as dense as the the most crowded Wards of London), with houses clustered around the five public squares.

    Do I have any followers in north eastern Mississippi, in the area between Jackson, Birmingham and Memphis, handy with a camera and with a bit of spare time on their hands this summer?

    Interesting on how Comano Terme (in northern Italy) decided to promote car free tourism over its entire area. Instead of driving from spot to spot, tourists now bike or walk, with incomes up 31% over the entire community of 5000.
