Town
A town planned with principles of smart growth is scaled by walkable increments: the neighborhood. Towns range from small (4 neighborhoods) to large (10 neighborhoods).
- CONTEXT: Optimum location for a town / town extension derives from efficient use of infrastructure and resources.
- MOVEMENT: Neighborhoods and centers in a town will coalesce around and between primary corridors.
- TRANSIT: Pedestrian sheds (short, medium, and long) set the placement of transit nodes to reduce auto dependence.
- CENTERS: A hierarchy of centers (town and neighborhood) locate at the focus of vehicular, transit, pedestrian modes.
- GOVERNANCE: Jurisdiction and planning control will match the physical organization of the community – down to the scale of quadrant and block.
