The Six Story Townlet noted in a
previous post increases the economic and social potential of the Park Townlets by more than doubling
the population without changes to the plan footprint. Utility infrastructure grows in capacity with
no changes in length. Changes in area,
population and parking are highlighted below.
Business opportunities grow
dramatically with 73,000 feet on the streets since walking is the most
comfortable, interesting and convenient way to move about.
So the range of possibility for the
Park Townlets is a population 35,000 to 73,000 on the same footprint. With proper planning and modular utilities
incremental growth allows building area to be linked to need and economic
conditions. Each Townlet is self sufficient with regard to daily needs. Utilities are provided by efficient central systems that serve all Townlets or by on-site
"Net Zero" systems that require no outside utility connections other
than wireless communication.
The
appearance of Six Story Park Townlets is a bit stronger than the three story
version. Incremental growth will produce
a variety of heights from three to six stories.
Each Townlet has a different layout
and architectural vocabulary.
