Representative Architectural Style: Storrs Mansfield CT.
The Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND), planning and development approach
is based on the principles of how cities and towns had been built for the last several
centuries: walkable blocks and streets, housing and shopping in close proximity, and
accessible public spaces. In other words: Traditional Neighborhood Design focuses on
human-scaled urban design.
The TND design principles were developed to offer alternatives to the sprawling, sin-
gle-use, low-density patterns typical of post-WWII development, which have been
shown to inflict negative economic, health, and environmental impacts on communities.
The TND design approach advocate for villages, towns, and cities consisting of neigh-
borhoods designed around a five-minute walk from center to edge. These ideas are
fundamental for sustainable design.

The TND design of Ridge Farm make placemaking and public space a high priority.
Streets are designed for people—rather than just cars—and accommodate multimodal
transportation including walking, bicycling, transit use, and driving. The Ridge Farm com-
munity has included richly designed plazas, squares, sidewalks, cafes, and porches to
host daily interaction and public life. The organization of buildings in a neighborhood will
help establish its character. Combining appropriate design elements makes places that
are greater than the sum of the
parts by creating sustainable, human-scaled places that are walkable, vibrant, beautiful
places that work better for businesses, and their residents.
