Our city is redeveloping a 1970s suburb into a denser, more walkable area. Residents worry about losing green space and having no place for kids or shops. The planning team asked for input on better models. I want to recommend something useful on master planning for large neighborhoods: how to integrate housing, parks, schools, retail and transportation without repeating past mistakes. Do you know any strong guides or case studies?

We had a similar discussion in my area when an older suburb was being redesigned. At first, residents focused mostly on building heights, but the conversation shifted when someone mapped where families actually needed playgrounds, schools, shops, and transit. That simple exercise showed how connected everything is. I’m also looking for practical examples of large neighborhood planning, and I found modern homes in Concord interesting as a starting point. I’d be grateful for any other solid guides or case studies people have used.
