Urban renewal
Has this project been developed on a previously developed site? Development on a greenfield site is not consistent with the concept of urban renewal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diffly (talk • contribs) 07:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- A large portion of the site used to be a mixture of shanty towns, scattered informal workshops, some clusters of older settlements, including the town center of a rural settlement, and some early examples of social housing projects. It is acceptable to consider it a redevelopment, as most of the area already had urban uses before the project was started (albeit with big variations in density and formality). You can check an aerial photo of the area before the project started: [1] Pedrojpinto (talk) 10:43, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
New Urbanism dispute
This development does not appear to implement any of the defining elements of New Urbanism. A quick glance at the photos on the project's website confirms this (here's an example). I suggest removing any reference to New Urbanism and removing the category New Urbanism communities. Diffly (talk) 12:18, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- LOL, agreed. Doing it. Genjix (talk) 18:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
