Design of Living Environment
- The satisfaction of human needs and desires involves a wide range of factors, including residential units, amenities, working, and public spaces.
- A well-designed living environment should facilitate convenient and pleasant spaces for a diverse range of users and dwellers.
Housing Amenities and Utilities
- Housing amenities and utilities are essential in architectural and urban planning design, increasing the standard of living.
- Examples of housing utilities include water, electricity, heating, air conditioning, kitchen equipment, furniture, balconies, terraces, garage, and parking lots.

- Quality of design in semi-private and public spaces is also crucial.
Mixed-Use Communities
- Communities developed using a single-use approach often lead to restricted movement and a reduced tax base.

- Initiatives are required to promote the realization of mixed-use communities.
Planning Proposal for Mixed-Used Community
- Housing plays a crucial role in driving the delivery of mixed-use schemes, contributing qualitative benefits to a mix of uses.
