Town Planner A wealthy citizen willed 100 undeveloped acres of wooded land bordering an urban area. In her will she designated that the land should be comprised of a mixed income community of 150 homes. Space for some shopping, doctor’s offices, restaurants, etc. should also be planned. Although streets for vehicle traffic are needed, it was her wish that it should be convenient and safe to travel by bike or on foot throughout the community.
