Patently town plans are on a smaller scale metropolitan plan but they take their lead from the regional agenda. As summarised from 'How to make a Town' (2000) by Duany, Plater-Zyberk and Speck a own plan should:
* Encompass and promote mixed use development: Mixed use development will help mitigate sprawl, help create a diverse and socially cohesive community, reduced car dependency and potential economic self sufficiency.
* Ensure connectivity: neighbourhoods/cities for people. Narrow, low speed streets.
* Adaptive site usage: Utilising and including a sites natural features into design to help create pleasant environmentally harmonious spaces.
* Aim for the Pedestrian Shed: 5-10 minute neighbourhood walk.
