I hope you’ve included the Village Homes Project in Davis, California since it was designed in 1974 it’s become one of the most respected and well thoughtout developments in North America and honored all over the world. Micheal and Judy Corbett, designed it and if you tour it and ask the
residences there you see and feel a community that loves living there as the design itself did
a lot of building community. Sincere, Bruce L Erickson
P. S. I’ve been working on creating sustainable, regenerative communities and overall issues of living in these changes times. Currently my work is with an international team and the sustainability issues of Japan.
