Sustainable Projects

A follower of my blog, Bill Futral forwarded an interesting development concept. Definitely a niche market but may be a trendsetter in future project planning. Please take a moment and click on the links. Bill and I would be interested in your opinions of this community/concept. http://www.terrain.org/unsprawl/24/
Bill believes when the market comes back that there will be a demand for this type rural setting with conveniences. Serenbe south of Atlanta is another community that has incorporated agriculture in their design. Please offer your opinions. In my opinion, this type of project is very much a sustainable community approach. Most municipalities would not know how to handle the land use designations or zoning classifications. I can easily see developers and designers using this approach in a variety of ways using agriculture as a component of a mixed use community.
