This study critically reviews some opinions that New Urbanism is a part of Neo-Conservative campaign in the socio-political point of view. This study looks into characteristics and orientation of New Urbanism in terms of family value, communitarian consciousness and self-help communities. What to follow is the findings of this study. First, the linkage between New Urbanism and family value inadequately has the logical causation between two concepts. Second, it is difficult to regard New Urbanism in the same light as a communitarian approach, although we can find some conservative communitarian consciousness in New Urbanism. This study debunks that conservative groups exaggerate some superficial characteristics of the movement in favor of their logic. Third, New Urbanism as a self-help community development project is mostly based on a fictitious image.
