Center for Livable Communities

I haven’t had a chance to dig into this site, but the American Institute of Architects is sponsoring research on livable communnities. The AIA defines those as offering:

  • choices in housing, shopping, recreation, and job opportunities;
  • transportation alternatives, interweaving spaces for pedestrians, bicycles, buses, trains, and cars;
  • a variety of open spaces and places for active recreation, walking, and public gatherings; and
  • a shared identity and sense of pride that results from the visual character and vitality of the community.
