Check list of sustainable design questions

Context and Distinctiveness

How does the development respond to the context, to the overall landscape, to the community values and to the history of the place? How do the proposals create a sense of place and a unique identity?

Resilience and Evolution

Have natural hazards been considered in the design? Does the neighbourhood design and development process integrate robustness, coordination, inclusiveness, redundancy, and reflectiveness (learning and evolving from past experience)?

Neighbourhood Structure and image

Is the neighbourhood structure legible with a clear image for its inhabitants?
