Based on 4 essential goals - enhanced quality of life, lower carbon footprint, sense of identity and pride, and health, happiness and well-being, the model brings togethe together six essential interrelated and inter-dependent strands instrumental in determining the social and environmental value of a settlement - 1)A responsive built environment, 2) A Sustainable Transport Strategy, 3) A rich and varied working landscape Structure, 4) A sustainable Water management strategy, 5) An efficient Waste Management Strategy, and 6) Green energy initiatives
