Community Design

Description

The neighborhood is the scale of community that is most familiar; the traditional single-family neighborhood, the urban mixed-use district, or the small rural village. Economic and demographic shifts have created a mismatch between some of these traditional forms of neighborhood and today's society. Community Design + Architecture's approach to neighborhood planning starts with an understanding of the economic and social context of the specific project. A plan is then developed that combines traditional neighborhood forms with current technologies, development patterns, the ecological context, real estate market demands, and community needs. The goal is to create a neighborhood that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. Issues include: Community Design + Architecture has worked on a variety of neighborhood plans for both private and public clients, including: the design of neighborhoods within new communities, the creation of mixed-use neighborhoods on infill or reuse sites in existing communities, and the revitalization of existing urban neighborhoods.
