  • people can live and work in

  • is self-sustainable

  • is environmentally friendly

  • encourages community development and bonding


A key focus is self-sustainability, where people can live, work, shop and entertain in a single Urban area. This is vastly different to Urban Sprawl where people transit across Suburbs frequently to get to, for instance, work places or Shopping Centres .

In existing urban village developments, it is common to see Buildings with shops on the ground floor and a mix of Offices and Apartments on upper floors. Hence it would be possible to walk from your apartment to your Office , which is just a few minutes down the street. Along the way you would pass Stores from which you can easily make purchases, without travelling across multiple Suburbs .


Examples

The following is a brief list of a few urban village projects that have already been completed, or are in planning stages:
