The region: Metro, city and town #7
“Cities and towns should bring into proximity a broad spectrum of public and private uses to
support a regional economy that benefits people of all incomes. Affordable housing
should be distributed throughout the region to match job opportunities and to avoid
concentrations of poverty”

The neighborhood, the district and the corridor #4
“Within neighborhoods, a broad range of housing types and price levels can bring people of diverse ages, races, and incomes into daily interaction, strengthening the personal and
civic bonds essential to an authentic community”

“A primary task of all urban architecture and landscape design is the physical definition of streets and public spaces as places of shared
use”
