Why Is This Important?
Concentrating housing in village centers helps protect against sprawl by allowing more open land to be conserved for farming, conservation, and recreation. Building housing in village centers also allows more people to live in proximity to village services, reducing the distance that residents have to travel in their day-to-day lives and increasing the viability of downtown businesses.
