- Crossroad, Cluster, Hamlet, Village, Town, City
Community Units exist at varying densities

- Context based transport and ped-sheds
Community Units are defined by walkable scale

- From a neighborhood’s center to its edge
Variations of ped-shed determine four C.U. types
1. CAS: Consolidated Agricultural Settlement
2. CLD: Clustered Land Development
3. TND: Traditional Neighborhood Development
4. RCD: Regional Center Development
