The following design agenda was used as a checklist to study different projects and to highlight the more successful design features.
- Making connections - paths for various types of movement to facilities and amenities
- Providing green areas and corridors
- Treating the street as a place - a friendly neighbourhood
- Layout the built form - active 'fronts' on street for identity and legibility
- Absorbing diversity - using different residential building types
- Defining public and private space
- Creating a relationship between buildings and spaces
- Arranging the building mass - proportion/location to the street and surrounding spaces
- Optimizing solar potential and good aspect - building orientation, relation to other buildings
- Managing and integrating parking
- Providing frequent and convenient access - entrances from the street
- Mixing uses/building in flexibility - future adaptability
- Providing spaces around the home - possible extension of the home
- Meeting the ground - thresholds and interfaces - level changes used as boundary controls
