The primary organization promoting the New Urbanism in the United States is the [[Congress for the New Urbanism]] (CNU). The Congress for the New Urbanism is the leading organization promoting walkable, mixed-use neighborhood development, sustainable communities and healthier living conditions.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Iravani |first1=Hamid |last2=Rao |first2=Venkat |title=The effects of New Urbanism on public health |journal=Journal of Urban Design |date=2020 |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=218–235 |doi=10.1080/13574809.2018.1554997 |doi-access=free}}</ref> CNU members promote the principles of CNU's Charter and the hallmarks of New Urbanism, including:

* Livable streets arranged in compact, walkable blocks.
* A range of housing choices to serve people of diverse ages and income levels.
* Schools, stores and other nearby destinations reachable by walking, bicycling or transit service.
* An affirming, human-scaled public realm where appropriately designed buildings define and enliven streets and other public spaces.

The CNU has met annually since 1993 when they held their first general meeting in [[Alexandria, Virginia]], with approximately one hundred attendees. By 2008 the Congress was drawing two to three thousand attendees to the annual meetings.

The CNU began forming local and regional chapters circa 2004 with the founding of the New England and Florida Chapters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cnuflorida.org/|title=Home – Congress For The New Urbanism Florida Chapter|work=Congress For The New Urbanism Florida Chapter}}</ref> By 2011 there were 16 official chapters and interest groups for 7 more. {{As of|2013}}, Canada hosts two full CNU Chapters, one in Ontario (CNU Ontario), and one in British Columbia (Cascadia) which also includes a portion of the north-west US states.

While the CNU has international participation in Canada, sister organizations have been formed in other areas of the world including the Council for European Urbanism (CEU),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ceunet.org/|title=C.E.U. Council for European Urbanism|access-date=22 October 2014|archive-date=17 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200817212007/http://www.ceunet.org/|url-status=dead}}</ref> the Movement for Israeli Urbanism (MIU) and the Australian Council for the New Urbanism.

By 2002 chapters of Students for the New Urbanism began appearing at universities including the [[Savannah College of Art and Design]], [[University of Georgia]], [[University of Notre Dame]], and the [[University of Miami]]. In 2003, a group of younger professionals and students met at the 11th Congress in Washington, D.C., and began developing a "Manifesto of the Next Generation of New Urbanists". The [[Next Generation of New Urbanists]] held their first major session the following year at the 12th meeting of the CNU in Chicago in 2004. The group has continued meeting annually {{As of|2014|lc=y}} with a focus on young professionals, students, new member issues, and ensuring the flow of fresh ideas and diverse viewpoints within the New Urbanism and the CNU. Spinoff projects of the Next Generation of the New Urbanists include the Living Urbanism publication first published in 2008 and the first [[Tactical Urbanism]] Guide.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tacticalurbanismguide.com/|title=Tactical Urbanism Materials Guide – Your resource for getting TU Projects done in your community!}}</ref>

The CNU has spawned publications and research groups. Publications include the ''New Urban News'' and the ''New Town Paper''. Research groups have formed independent nonprofits to research individual topics such as the [[Form-based code|Form-Based Codes]] Institute, The National Charrette Institute and the Center for Applied Transect Studies.

In the [[United Kingdom]] New Urbanist and European urbanism principles are practised and taught by [[The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment]]. They have also been broadly supported in the final report of the Building Better Building Beautiful Commission, Living with Beauty,<ref>https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/861832/Living_with_beauty_BBBBC_report.pdf</ref> and by organisations such as Create Streets who, using the concept of "Gentle Density" both campaign for new urbanist principles in public policy and also support landowners and councils on actual schemes.

Around the world, other organisations promote New Urbanism as part of their remit, such as [[International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism|INTBAU]], A Vision of Europe, Council for European Urbanism, and others.

The CNU and other national organizations have also formed partnerships with like-minded groups. Organizations under the banner of [[Smart Growth]] also often work with the Congress for the New Urbanism. In addition the CNU has formed partnerships on specific projects such as working with the [[United States Green Building Council]] and the [[Natural Resources Defense Council]] to develop the [[LEED for Neighborhood Development]] standards, and with the [[Institute of Transportation Engineers]] to develop a [[Context Sensitive Solutions]] (CSS) Design manual.

Founded in 1984, the Seaside Institute is a nonprofit promoting the New Urbanist movement, based in [[Seaside, Florida]]. The organization's primary goal is to inspire livable communities that are centered around sustainability, connectivity, and adaptability. Since 1993, the Seaside Institute has awarded the Seaside Prize to professionals who have made a significant impact on how communities can be built and rebuilt to reflect New Urbanist principles.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://viemagazine.com/article/the-seaside-prize-returns/ | title=The Seaside Prize Returns | date=31 October 2022 }}</ref>
