Land Use

1. Residential Zones

Goal: Clustered, walkable, quiet, integrated with nature.

1.1 Housing Units

  • Ca. 1,000-1,200 homes (avg. 2.5–3 people per household)
  • Each home plot: 400–450 m² incl. garden, private green
  • Total Housing Plot Area: 45 ha
  • Distribution: 10–15 clusters of ~80–100 homes, walkable, interwoven with greenspaces

1.2 Community Greens in Residential Zones

  • Green fingers between clusters: parks, playgrounds, micro-forests
    15 ha (integrated within residential zones, not separate)

2. Central Civic Core (The “Heart”)

Goal: Dense mixed-use for interaction, education, health, culture.

3. Mobility & Transport

Goal: Minimize vehicles, maximize accessibility, safety, flexibility.

  • Main access roads + service routes: 10 ha
  • Pedestrian / cycle priority paths: integrated in clusters

Core Spatial Logic

  • Clusters: Medium-density “islands” of homes, each ~4–6 hectares.
  • Green corridors: Connect clusters, facilitate walking/biking, biodiversity.
  • Civic core: Compact but multifunctional, accessible from all clusters.
  • Agriculture + Energy belts: Outer perimeter or sector-based.
  • Public spaces: Anchors for each cluster and centrality.
