The regional sector is an urban-to-rural gradient across a metropolitan area, independent of jurisdictions, mapped by intended domains of growth and open space.

Smart growth within a regional sector organizes infrastructure and private development for optimum social, economic, and environmental value.

  • TIERS: gradient (1-7) of the urban-to-rural regional transect.
  • CATCHMENTS: sector components of growth and open space within movement network.
  • COMMUNITY UNITS: building block of walkable settlement and traditional town making.
  • SETTLEMENT TYPES: assemblies of community units, defined as crossroad, hamlet, village, town, city.
  • SECTOR COMPONENTS: growth areas (G-1 to G-5) and open space uses (OS-1 to OS-2).
