To demonstrate the viability of building homes as an economic development strategy for emerging economies it is planned that new quality housing of various sizes will be constructed on the edge of major cities or within major cities. The homes will be grouped into small communities or neighborhoods, each with their own commercial center and sold to those who are Working And Affluent that qualify for a home loan.. The creation of communities within cities also provides an opportunity to demonstrate how a city can be designed to be sustainable, energy efficient, and durable while integrating the societal behavior of a village. Constructing homes for qualified buyers creates quality housing to be added to each city while providing affordable homes for the lower income buyers because of the Moving Up Effect.
City planning in the past has failed to created communities that are interactive and cohesive.
Where you live is it not uncommon for specific areas within the cities to take on names indicating a neighborhood or a district as people find ways to identify where they live or work. It is uncommon for these areas to contain all of the services of a village or a working community need. Because of this it has it not been necessary for many of you the living in large and small cities to travel for services, products and employment. Travel becomes a major time consumer and a significant cost and in many cases requires that the family own at least two cars.
The planning for the new housing to be constructed in emerging economies presents and opportunity to create communities within the cities or on the edge of cities that are complete "villages" or integrated communities with many of the services within walking distances or on public transit. This is the most critical design requirement for cities of the future that reduces the cost of living in a community to a minimum. It is believed that the cost of living will be playing an even more critical role in determining wages in the economy of the 21st Century as international trade becomes even a larger factor in our life style.

How do you create interactive neighborhoods that are conducive to creating a sense of belonging to a community in emerging economies?
What design features for planning new communities must be incorporated to reduce the cost of living in the new neighborhoods?
The design of the new urban communities must concentrate on reducing the cost of living by reducing travel time, observing energy concerns, and establishing an interactive living environment that creates a "community of families".
Why is important for lenders that will finance the homes that the homes be part of a well designed community with retail and other commercial services?
The primary concern of financial intitutions that are interested in financing the Global Home Building Industry focus on whether the homes will appriciate in value over which is what increses their collaterial value.
