The Neighborhood Atlas

Eight villages, a town centre, and a park in every one

Mountain House was planned so that each neighbourhood would have its own five-acre village park. Cities do not usually decide that. It tells you what kind of place this was meant to be — and it is the map on which all of this work happened.
