@wakingcities @RTPIPlanners @drweiyang Ulster Garden Villages developed a few over the years but Merville Garden Village is the first and (I’m going to be totally biased and say) best example! Mixed housing, landscape focus, community infrastructure, good urban design, shops and services, long-term stewardship etc.
