Community Living
The way we build, live in and move to and from our homes generates more than 50% of all carbon emissions.
We have a unique opportunity to address the environmental emergency and the climate, loneliness and housing situations with an integrated solution benefiting people and the planet.
Climate action, social belonging and affordable housing are all in short supply.
The way we build our homes has a significant impact on all three aspects. The design and development of the village will consider sustainable building practices.
Our considerations therefore are:
Sustainable lifestyle
Innovative environment
Health + wellness focus
Car free living
Pedestrian friendly
Community allotment gardens
Sustainable design
Close to nature
Water + waste management
Integrated technology
Low energy living
