Civic organisations and social clubs. Recreational facilities - the swimming pool is another opportunity for people to interact. Normally, developers don't get involved in education. We said that our school needed to be inside the community, it needed to be a walkable school. We created an area within the school which put a lot of children together of different age groups, learning together - it was like the living room of the neighbourhood.
Someone working on a laptop on the front porch is a way of doing that.
We created a community with its own network. We put in infrastructure ahead of its time. We have electronic town meetings. Community cable communications. There has to be in the public realm things you can control, things that aren't bolted down.
