Design Guidelines at The Ponds

The Ponds is an excellent example of first class sustainable design principles. Great design is no accident. It is a very deliberate process and the phenomenal success at The Ponds is a classic example of this.

Landcom’s seven design guidelines encourage designers, developers and regulators to think about what makes outstanding urban places and, just as importantly, how the pieces of that design jigsaw are put together. 

The guidelines focus first on the principles of good urban development and then, if necessary, explore design standards that, in Landcom’s experience, have helped deliver great developments. 

In this series of post for The Ponds Community we'll look at how each of the seven guidelines are applied to The Ponds.
