"Over the past two decades, the New Urbanism has emerged as a controversial alternative to conventional patterns of urban development. Although growing in popularity, it has received a skeptical reception in journals of planning, architecture and geography." (Ellis, 2002, 261).
"Clearly, academic schools of architecture are hostile to virtually all traditional building, and find the various permutations of modernism, neomodernism, postmodernism and deconstructionism to be the only suitable styles of our age." (Ellis, 2002, 274).
