- Fact Sheet
- posted 04 Jun 2008
A sustainable community is a diverse one, accommodating people of different life stages, incomes, and household composition. For instance, a nuclear family is likely to prefer a larger dwelling with several bedrooms and access to private open space; a university student may seek shared accommodation; a young single professional may require a small apartment, while an elderly couple may seek an easy care unit within a retirement village. All of these groups will have very strong preferences for the location their homes – some will prefer the inner city while others may more space in an outer suburban area.
