Neighbourhood building blocks

"Neighborhoods vary a lot, but they have five basic characteristics. We keep these in mind when planning a new neighborhood or when carefully updating or restoring an existing one."

1. an identifiable center & edge
2. limited in size
3. a mix of land uses & building types & housing types and prices
4. an integrated network of walkable streets
5. sites reserved for civic purposes
