Fairview streets are also designed to give people a sense of place. The sense of community is strengthened furthered by diversity of age and socioeconomics. At Fairview, every generation of a family can live in the same neighborhood. By contrast, in most single-family suburban developments, any change to one's personal circumstances requires moving to a totally different neighborhood. This perpetual uprooting isolates individuals, ruptures family life, and, ultimately, robs communities of their memories.
Community is more than just a place to live.
It's about feeling a sense of belonging. Urban living is about sustaining human contact. It's about running into old and new friends. At Fairview, we are creating the type of environment where these third places flourish. Public spaces at Fairview Village including the streets, parks, and squares are designed to be the focus for the conduct of daily living.
