document: Designing a new urban Internet The parallel between designing a Web site and the construction of a building is a familiar one , but how often do we think of the Internet as having parks and streets ? It would be absurd to say that the Internet could ever take the place of real , livable communities ; however , it is safe to say that the context for using the Internet is on a path of change . As the Internet evolves beyond a simple linkage of disparate Web sites and applications , the challenge for Information Architects is establishing a process by which to structure , organize , and design networked environments . The principles that guide New Urbanism can offer much insight into networked electronic environment design . At the core of every New Urbanism principle is the idea of `` wholeness '' - of making sure that neighborhoods and communities are knit together in a way that supports civic activities , economic development , efficient ecosystems , aesthetic beauty , and human interaction
