Transportation Networks
This step involves envisioning a sustainable transportation network within and outside the community. Emphasis is placed on designing for universal accessibility, catering to the needs of elderly and physically challenged residents. Additionally, creative solutions like ziplines and gondolas are explored, enhancing mobility options. The goal is to establish an eco-friendly, integrated transportation system, promoting inclusivity and minimizing environmental impact.

Accessibility
How will you design for accessibility for elderly and the physically challenged?
Logistics

That’s great! I like the idea of driving golf carts everywhere. They are typically noiseless and fun. In other communities I’ve seen them use ATVs, because the terrain was more challenging, but they were so noisy. I personally think that this kind of noise disturbs wildlife.
Agree that the best communities are pretty much 90% car free and have their vehicles parked outside/at the entrance.
