• Density is a crucial factor to achieve a sustainable community.
Density can significantly reduce the infrastructure cost. It
can create a balance between the urban & natural forms. It
increases social Interaction. It ensures less travel time from
home to work.
• Advantage of Compact Integrated Townships with optimum
density and mixed use development, is that it minimizes land
disturbance as against the urban sprawls.
3. Walkable Community

• Basic needs & amenities within 450m radius or 5min walk.

• Interconnected routes all around the township with distinct
identities.
4. Safe and Pedestrian Friendly

• Inclusive and accessible to all with provision of ramps and
changes in paving patterns.
• Sidewalks, speed controls, well linked trails and street
crossings that make walking safe.

• Increased safety by reducing vehicular speeds near Schools
& Community Centres.
• Passive surveillance with eyes on street

• Defined edges with buildings.
5. Self Sufficient Clusters

• Ideal size of cluster that can be added as and when the housing
needs increase. Walkable length of each cluster. Optimized
cluster size with approximately 120 to 150 families.
• Enclosed perimeter blocks give clear definition between
public fronts & private backs.
