A Town Primarily for People

<div id=00N40000001lfFy_ileinner><p><strong>THE CHALLENGE</strong>: Invent a town to solve all suburban problems meet challenges like Jane Jacobs described; plus comprehensively solve all livability environmental & affordability issues. Impossible? In this book key historical influences are reviewed w/ fresh perspectives on current ideas. Entirely new town & home designs are presented.</p><p>Permanent infrastructure systems can save 50% of home cost & add livability. Three-dimensional home site arrangements save costs & offer more privacy freedom & flexibility than in suburbia; neighborly potentials are enhanced. While at same as suburban densities 70% of the same amount of land becomes an integral open space & farming system.</p><p>The Home Site Near & Extended Neighborhood w/ Main Street acts as a visual & functional unit for all life's moments & is designed primarily for each individual's satisfaction.</p><p><strong>WHY INVENT A NEW TOWN CONCEPT?</strong> Few towns have been primarily for people. Town plans based on cars make cars necessary. There's no incentive for high quality long-term investment in towns with short-term 25 to 50 year plans w/ no truly long-term comprehensive strategy.</p><p>Current concepts can't solve all the problems. They will never solve the basic conflicts between housing eventually needing more land the environmentalist landowners & developers. Everyone's trapped; the concept is the problem. Affordability livability & sustainability will be more difficult.</p><p>General Plans that dictate existing design solutions/are based on cars stifle any truly new ideas. To solve current & future challenges requires entirely new concepts. With insight from the past & today's technology we can design human habitats to function as an integral part of the surrounding natural environment. This new-concept town approaches the efficiency & natural balance common in homes built by many other less intelligent life forms.</p><p>This new concept is functionally structurally & financially feasible today. www.sprawlsolutions.com</p><p> </p><p> </p></div>
