We have found a lot of research evidencing the importance of community and social connection with regard to achieving sustainability. We want to design an environment that will propagate community. Create a place where people have chance encounters on the nature trails, front porches or in the parks. A place where the residents know and care about the wellbeing of each other, and the health of their community. These are some of the methods we hope to employ in creating a superior place to live.
