37 House Cluster

May be part of Identifiable Neighbourhood (14), Density Rings (29), Household Mix (35), Degrees of Publicises (36).

Conflict

People will not feel comfortable in their houses unless a group of houses forms a cluster, with the public land between them jointly owned by all the householders.

Resolution

Arrange houses to form very rough but identifiable clusters of 8 to 12 households around some common land and paths. Arrange the clusters so that anyone can walk through them, without feeling like a trespasser.

May contain Row Houses (38), Common Land (67), Circulation Realms (98), Small Parking Lots (103), Your Own Home (79).
