1.3.1. Residental villages.
You don't live alone. To promote community spirit, houses are built around a village centre.
In the village centre in one building all kinds of facilities are available. On the ground floor: shops for basic needs and restaurants. On the next floor(s) the physical and mental help, village police, firefighters, municipal affairs and sports venues have been located. On the next following floor is the research, the development centre, the library, the innovation platform and business meeting rooms. And on the top floor a philosophical space where lectures are held, annex, room for religion, concert hall and theater, art locations and exhibition rooms.
Around the village centre is, like a hill-shaped village, a green space [village square] with decorate paving, planting, grass, trees, play areas for small children, market area, sitting areas and outdoor sport venues. Around it is the ring road for bike paths, cars and bus lane.
The houses are built in clusters around the village centre. These clusters consist of a diversity of housing types for every age and lifestyle tastes.
Between the village clusters goes green roads for cars, bike paths and bus lanes.
The outer ring of the residential village consists of a ring road for bike lanes, cars and bus lane, surrounded by lush green parklands that simultaneously connects the residential clusters from the adjoining residential villages. The residential villages are not too large.
The character of existing residential towns is retained. Where possible and desirable, on full preservation of its historic features, elements of the village-centre-living shall be fit in.
