Neighborhood
The foundational unit of local settlement created by the walkable measure (5 to 6 minutes) of center to edge, a span of 1/4 to 1/3 mile: daily needs available to all residents, without car dependence.
- CONTEXT: The TND community unit may locate at any place within Regional Tiers 3 to 7 and Growth Sectors G-2 to 4, and yield settlements of hamlet, village, town, and urban quarter.
- LAND USES: Balanced mix of choices for living and working, retail and workplace, civic spaces and support services.
- TRANSECT: Span of a 5 min. walk (center to edge) allows a range of uses and building types – through a discipline for calibrating town making elements, creating immersive and coherent setings at each point of the gradient.
- CENTERS: Mixed use buildings for local commercial uses (10-50,000 s.f.) and higher density dwelling, high amenity for pedestrians at shopfronts, cafe eating, meeting spaces.
