The idea of reducing carbon footprint and increasing awareness of green energy sources has brought attention to the need for sustainable communities. To achieve this, there is a growing interest in developing walkable neighborhoods and planning for livable communities. This requires careful consideration of land use patterns, transportation systems, public facilities, housing, and design features of buildings. An important aspect of planning is to create a neighborhood framework where buildings form housing groups and interact with the surrounding space. It is crucial to improve walkability and promote independence and autonomy in walking. A fundamental principle is recognizing transportation as an essential aspect of this vision, which leads to better community connectivity and livability.
