NARRATIVE

Home Clusters

 

Other countries of the world aren’t blessed with as much land or as many resources as the United States.  Therefore, they are more in tune with what they do have and use.  In a residential area near Copenhagen, Denmark, homes are tightly clustered into circles, with each home getting a slice of the pie.  This idea could be expanded to include local commercial spaces in the middle of the pies, making each small circle a partially self-sufficient community.  This would cut down on car trips and urban sprawl and increase physical health community bonding.
