Prince Charles loves new urbanism

Prince Charles loves traditional towns where you can walk to the supermarket and wander around little streets. He’s spreading that idea through his Foundation for the Built Environment, which works with residents to apply the principles of new urbanism in British communities and in third-world countries. The projects also aim at developing renewable energies in cities by installing windmills or solar panels, for example.
