Chuck will discuss why the locations and proximity of structures (homes and common areas) are an important consideration when creating a neighborhood. Community-led design, environmental implications, and social implications will be discussed and case studies will be presented.

If you are considering creating an intentional community, if you’re interested in learning about cohousing to enhance your professional portfolio, or if you are simply curious about how neighborhood design works, you should come to this talk!
