Urban Architecture and Building Communities When developers and architects design housing developments they need to give a great deal of consideration to the quality of life of its inhabitants and the fact that they bear a significant responsibility for creating a sense of community and neighbourhood integration. It is not just a matter of creating living units and roads with services. Some developments have been notorious for creating alienation, social isolation or ghettos, while others are renowned for being enjoyable, desirable and inclusive places to live. This often has an impact on subsequent housing resale values.
