Version 1

(Starting with Bess text)

The rural-to-urban transect is a conceptual framework for describing the elements of the human habitat from the most rural to the most densely urban, and a tool for analyzing and prescribing appropriate relationships between buildings and their natural and urban contexts. The CNU promotes good land stewardship and good traditional urbanism in every zone of the rural-to-urban transect.

Sandy Sorlien, March 21, 2006 (revision of Philip Bess revision)

Major revision:

The planning and design of regions, communities, and blocks should be based on the rural-to-urban transect. This transect is a framework for describing the elements of the human habitat from the most rural to the most urban. It is especialy useful at the community scale for analyzing and prescribing appropriate relationships between buildings and thoroughfares and their natural and urban contexts, and for balancing communities so they will offer a choice of living arrangements and civic amenities for all.
