Sonoma Mountain Village...the future of planning and development.
Check out this amazing project which will be the only One Planet Community in North America...
Each neighborhood will have a New Urbanist treatment: narrow streets lined with wide sidewalks and porches. In many cases, kitchens will overlook the street so that a resident working at the sink can wave to passersby or chat when windows are open. Each neighborhood will have a pocket park with public art.
To reduce car use, the town center will offer essential services as well as entertainment venues, a movie theater, restaurants, a bakery and a daily farmers market. For commuting, residents can choose carpools, buses or a shuttle service to the local train station. For those willing to eschew a car altogether, the developer will organize a car-share club that lets members rent hybrid or electric cars by the hour.
