Community Development
What is Community development? It is the intentional progression and integration of people within a space and place. It entails a variety of ways to foster and grow a community into a meaningful and engaged culture. This includes common areas, public spaces, open kitchens, amphitheaters, and other elements akin to intentional living. These pursuits can create a joyous and connected community, contrasting traditional suburban eco systems. People are integrated, rather than spereated by yards. Of course, everyone has their own house, but this way they are still connected.
Fostering a Community
It’s important to know you neighbors – but even better to be friends with them. Well, the cool ones. What better way to connect the inhabitants of a community with meaningful and beautiful spaces for socialization, communication, and recreation?
Scalability, Developments
These implementations can be initiated on a single house, applied to a larger community of a couple homes or an HOA, or, ideally, to a housing development.
Developments are prime candidates for these services because far too often are housing communities segmented, separated, and unsubstantiated.
These designs can help improve community value and socialization, while providing beautiful spaces for people to gather and bond.
Value Focused Growth
Communities that have more trees, particularly food bearing trees, landscaping efforts, and amenities are worth more. EAD designs can help dramatically increase property values by making spaces more enjoyable, aesthetic, and entertaining. Studies have shown communities with these qualities are worth more and can quickly develop waiting lists.
Increased Property Value
Gardens, orchards, food forests, and other landscaping developments all increase property value and curb appeal. This can be a fantastic way to ensure your house is worth more down the road, in addition to saving your money from going to the grocery store and the gas it takes to get there.
Community Development
Build up neighborly bonds by sharing surplus, bonding over communal pizza ovens, or enjoying a friendly park. This is geared towards commercial developments, but can absolutely be implemented at homes too.
Natural Disaster Mitigation
Reduce the impacts of flooding, fire, storms, and other potential disasters by strategic planting, earthworks, and property maintenance.
